Who are we?
We’re Pets at Home – if you’re someone who loves pets, you might already know about our range of Pet Care Centres, Pets Grooming salons, and Vets for Pets practices around the UK. Our Pet Care Centres are community-focused pet care stores – where local people work with local pet owners and help local pets. It's fast-paced, innovative, fun, and we put people at the very heart of everything we do.

Your role will be at the heart of our stores, and you will ensure our customers have a great experience that sets us apart and drives customer loyalty for our great brands.
