About The Pets Workshop

The Pets Workshop is a Singapore pet grooming chain with 4 outlets island-wide. We groom to a standard, not to a clock - our team includes master-groomer-credentialled staff, and we run our own training academy. We are looking for groomers who care about the craft and want to keep getting better at it.

The Role

You will handle the full grooming service from start to finish - intake, bath, dry, clip, scissor, finish - for dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs across all breeds and coat types. You will own your appointments and your standard of work.

• Carry out full grooming services: bathing, drying, de-matting, clipping, scissoring, and breed-appropriate styling
• Perform routine care - nail trimming, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, paw pad and sanitary trims
• Assess coat and skin condition at intake, and flag health concerns (lumps, wounds, parasites, skin issues) to the owner and to management
• Handle pets safely and calmly, including anxious, senior, or uncooperative animals
• Consult with owners on styling, coat maintenance, and home care between visits
• Keep accurate service records and grooming notes in our system
• Maintain salon hygiene, sanitise equipment, and keep tools in working order
• Support and guide apprentices and assistants on the floor

• Calm, patient, and confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments
• Physically able to stand for extended periods and lift or restrain dogs up to 20kg
• Available to work weekends and public holidays on a rotating shift basis

Nice to Have

• Formal grooming certification (local or international)

• Hand stripping or breed‑specific styling skills
• Competition grooming experience

What We Offer

• Remuneration
• Basic $2,800 plus 10% commission on services performed
• Realistic total monthly earnings of $3,400 to $5,500 depending on your book
• An alternative lower‑base, higher‑commission scheme is available for experienced groomers with an established clientele - we'll walk you through both at interview
• Continued training through our in‑house academy, and sponsorship for external certification
• Annual leave / medical / staff pet grooming discount / CPF
• A chain with 4 outlets - real progression into senior groomer and outlet lead roles
