Join Our Groom Room 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 the people who love them.
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 crucial to the success of our Pets Grooming salons. You will deliver the highest standard of pet care, demonstrating 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 service that aligns with our goal of being the 'Best Pet Care Business in the World'. We offer a competitive base pay, comprehensive training, development opportunities, and our Earn as You Learn programmes with skill-based pay enhancements.
We’re seeking individuals who are:
* Passionate about delivering excellent service.
* Flexible, with the ability to work a shift pattern across 6 days a week (closed on Sundays). The minimum contract is 39 hours, but additional hours may be required during busy periods, absences, and 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 qualify as professional experience. Experience in a customer-facing role is preferred.
* Preferably experienced in target-driven environments, but willing to train those new to it.
Why Join Us?
We recognize and reward our colleagues in meaningful ways. Our benefits support your mental, emotional, and financial wellbeing, now and in the future. Benefits may include:
* Attractive pay plus commission, subject to targets
* 28 days paid annual leave, rising to 33 days after 2 years (including bank holidays, pro-rata for contracted hours)
* 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 value diversity and encourage everyone to apply, even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly match. Your unique contribution through your values and behaviors is welcome.
Together, we’re better with pets.
