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 critical to the success of our Pets Grooming salons. You'll deliver the highest standards of pet care while demonstrating a basic understanding of technical concepts related to preparing and clipping dogs for grooming, including handling techniques, equipment use, and pre-grooming preparation.

We will provide you with training, skills, and knowledge to offer our customers service that aligns with our goal of being the 'Best Pet Care Business in the World'. You'll enjoy a competitive base pay, and we’ll support your growth through comprehensive training and development opportunities, including our Earn as You Learn programmes and additional skill-based pay enhancements.

We’re seeking individuals who are:

• Passionate about delivering excellent service.
• Flexible. Due to the busy retail environment, you should be able 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 additional hours 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.
