Our Assistant Stylists are critical to the success of our Pets Grooming salons. You'll deliver the very highest standard of pet care, whilst demonstrating a basic understanding of technical concepts relating to preparing and clipping a dog for grooming, including handling techniques, using equipment, and pre-grooming preparation.
We are looking for people who:
* Are passionate about delivering a great service.
* Are flexible. Due to the busy retail environment, you need to work a flexible shift pattern across 6 days a week. We are closed on Sundays. You will receive a minimum contract of 39 hours but may need to work more hours to cover busy periods, absences, and holidays.
* Have experience working with or handling dogs in a professional grooming or pet care environment (desirable but not essential). Please note that bathing and prepping your own dog does not qualify as professional experience.
* Preferably have experience working in a target-driven environment, but if not, be willing to work in one.
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 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 commitment to excellence, we'd love to meet you.
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, including our Earn as You Learn programmes and skill-based pay enhancements.
