• Liaising with the Store Manager in recruitment and performance management processes
• Assisting in delivering the targeted performance of the Grooming Studio to maximize bookings and repeat business
• Stock management to include stock takes, ordering, replenishment processing
• Overseeing the care and comfort of our livestock
• Ensuring the success of various instore events that we run such as Operation Transpawmation and Puppy of the Year.

While at least retail supervisory experience is essential in this role, we will happily teach you all you need to know about pet and product side of the business. You will also attend regular meetings with your fellow managers where we will update you as to what is new to the business.

In return we offer

• Quarterly bonuses based on K.P.I. delivery
