Join Our Grooming Team: Assistant Stylist Wanted!
About Us:
At Pets at Home, we’re passionate about pets, and it shows. Our Pet Care Centres across the UK include grooming salons, retail stores, and veterinary practices, all dedicated to delivering the very best care for pets and their owners.
We believe in creating welcoming, supportive environments where team members can thrive. If you share our love for pets and our commitment to excellence, we’d love to meet you.
The Role:
Our Assistant Stylists are essential to the success of our Pets Grooming salons. You will deliver high standards of pet care and demonstrate a basic understanding of grooming techniques, including handling, equipment use, and pre-grooming preparation.
We will provide training, skills, and knowledge to help you deliver excellent service. You’ll enjoy a competitive pay and opportunities for growth through training and development programs, including our Earn as You Learn initiatives and skill-based pay enhancements.
We’re seeking individuals who are:
* Passionate about delivering great service.
* Flexible, with the ability to work a shift pattern across 6 days a week (we are closed on Sundays). The minimum contract is 39 hours, but additional hours may be required during busy periods, absences, or holidays.
* Experience working with or handling dogs in a professional grooming or pet care environment is desirable but not essential. Note that bathing and prepping your own dog does not count as professional experience. Experience in a customer-facing role is preferred.
* Familiar with target-driven environments is a plus, but not mandatory.
Why Join Us?
We value and support our colleagues’ wellbeing—mental, emotional, and financial. Benefits may include:
* Competitive pay plus commission, subject to targets
* 28 days paid annual leave, increasing to 33 days after 2 years (including bank holidays, pro-rata for contracted hours)
* An extra day off for your birthday
* Life Assurance – 4 times your annual salary
* Company pension contribution of 4%
* 20% colleague discount across the Group, including 30% off on own brand products
We embrace diversity, respect individuality, and encourage everyone to be their best selves. We aim to reflect the communities we serve and remove barriers to create opportunities for talent and potential. Even if your skills don’t perfectly match, if you share our values, we want to hear from you!
Together, we’re better with pets.
