Assistant Stylist - Trainee Dog Groomer

Join Our Groom Room Team: Assistant Stylist Wanted!

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 and exceptional service 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 critical to the success of our grooming salons. You will 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 deliver excellent service and support your growth through comprehensive training, including our Earn as You Learn programmes and skill-based pay enhancements.

We’re seeking individuals who are:

• Passionate about delivering great service.
• Flexible, with the ability to work a shift pattern across 6 days a week (closed on Sundays). The minimum contract is 39 hours, but additional hours may be required 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. Please note that bathing and prepping your own dog does not qualify as professional experience. Customer-facing experience is preferred.
• Familiar with target-driven environments, or willing to work in one.

Why Join Us?

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

• Competitive pay plus commission, subject to targets.
• iPet Level 3 training programme and qualification.
• 28 days paid annual leave, increasing to 33 days after 2 years (including bank holidays, pro-rata).
• Extra day off for your birthday.
• Life assurance of 4 times your annual salary.
• Company pension contribution of 4%.
• 20% colleague discount across the Group, including a 30% discount on own pet products.

We value diversity and inclusion, inspired by the unbiased nature of pets. We encourage everyone to be themselves and contribute uniquely through their values and behaviors.

Together, we’re better with pets.
