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'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 offer service that aligns with our goal of being the 'Best Pet Care Business in the World'. You will enjoy a competitive salary and opportunities for growth through comprehensive training, including our Earn as You Learn programmes and additional pay enhancements.

• People passionate about delivering excellent service.
• Flexible individuals able to work a shift pattern across 6 days a week (closed on Sundays), with a minimum of 39 hours, often more during busy periods.
• Experience with dogs in a professional grooming or pet care setting is desirable but not essential. Please note that bathing and prepping your own dog does not qualify as professional experience.
• Experience in a target-driven environment is preferred but not required.

Why Join Us?

We value and reward our colleagues in meaningful ways. Our benefits support your mental, emotional, and financial wellbeing, including:

• Attractive pay plus commission, subject to targets
• Certified iPet Level 3 training and qualification
• 28 days paid annual leave, increasing to 33 days after 2 years (including bank holidays, pro-rata)
• An extra day off for your birthday
• Life Assurance (4 times your salary)
• Company pension contribution (4%)
• 20% colleague discount across the Group (Pets at Home, Grooming, Vets for Pets), including 30% off on own brand products
