Job description

Join Our Grooming Team: Assistant Stylist Wanted!

About Us:

At Pets at Home, we’re passionate about pets. Our Pet Care Centres across the UK include grooming salons, retail stores, and veterinary practices, all dedicated to providing the best care for pets and their owners.

We foster welcoming, supportive environments where team members can thrive. If you love pets and are committed to excellence, we’d love to meet you.

The Role:

Our Assistant Stylists are vital to our grooming salons' success. You will deliver high standards of pet care and gain knowledge in grooming techniques, handling, equipment use, and pre-grooming preparation.

We will provide training, skills, and knowledge to help you deliver excellent service. We offer competitive pay, comprehensive training, and development opportunities, including Earn as You Learn programmes and skill-based pay enhancements.

We are looking for individuals who:

• Are passionate about providing great service.
• Are flexible, with the ability to work a flexible shift pattern across 6 days a week, as we are closed on Sundays. The minimum contract is 39 hours, but additional hours may be required.
• Have experience working with or handling dogs in a professional grooming or pet care setting (desirable but not essential). Bathing and prepping your own dog does not qualify as professional experience.
• Have experience in a customer-facing environment (preferred).

Why Join Us?

We value and reward our colleagues. Our benefits support your mental, emotional, and financial wellbeing. Some benefits include:

• Attractive pay plus commission, subject to targets
• 28 days paid annual leave, increasing to 33 days after 2 years
• Extra day off for your birthday
• Life Assurance - 4 times your salary
• Company pension contribution of 4%
• 20% colleague discount across the Group, including 30% off on own brand products

We celebrate diversity and encourage everyone to be themselves. Even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly match, we value unique contributions based on your values and behaviors. We want to hear from you!

Together, we’re better with pets.
