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 vital to the success of our Pets Grooming salons. You'll deliver the highest standard of pet care while 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 aligned with our goal of being the 'Best Pet Care Business in the World.' You'll enjoy a competitive pay rate and benefit from comprehensive training and development, including our Earn as You Learn programmes and skill-based pay enhancements.
We’re seeking individuals who are:
* Passionate about delivering great service.
* Flexible, with the ability to work a flexible shift pattern across 6 days a week; we are closed on Sundays. You will be contracted for a minimum of 39 hours but may work more 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: bathing and prepping your own dog does not qualify as professional experience). Preferably, you will have experience working in a customer-facing role.
* Preferably experienced in target-driven environments, but willing to learn if not.
Why Join Us?
We value and reward our colleagues in meaningful ways. Our benefits support your mental, emotional, and financial wellbeing, now and in the future. Some benefits include:
* Attractive pay plus commission, subject to targets
* Certified iPet Level 3 training programme and qualification
* 28 days paid annual leave, increasing to 33 days after 2 years (including bank holidays, pro-rata)
* Extra day off for your birthday
* Life Assurance - 4 times your annual salary
* Company pension contribution of 4%
* Colleague discount of 20% across the Group (Pets at Home, Pets Grooming, Vets for Pets), including 30% off on own brand
We celebrate diversity and encourage everyone to be themselves. Even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly match, if you believe you can contribute through your values and behaviors, we want to hear from you!
Together, we’re better with pets.
