Job Description:

You’ll deliver beautiful, high-standard grooms - breed standard and pet trims alike - in a calm, one-to-one environment where every dog is treated like a character, not a number. This is hands-on work with plenty of room to grow alongside the business.

Day to day, you’ll:

•     Complete full grooms to a high standard - bathing, drying, clipping, hand stripping, scissoring, and styling to breed standards or owner preferences

•     Confidently assess coat condition and skin health, and flag anything that needs attention

•     Provide nail trims, ear cleaning, and finishing touches that make tails wag

•     Handle every dog calmly and patiently, with welfare always coming first

•     Consult with owners about their dog’s groom and aftercare - friendly, clear, reassuring

•     Keep the salon and your equipment spotless and to a high hygiene standard

•     Muck in as part of a small, supportive team of genuine dog people

Our Kind of Person

We’re building a team of skilled, reliable groomers who take pride in their work and care deeply about the pets they handle. You’ll fit right in if you’re:

•     Passionate about animal care and welfare

•     Professional and reliable

•     Kind and friendly

•     Team-oriented

•     Open and transparent in how you communicate

•     Always up for learning something new

What We’re Looking For

•     Minimum 2–3 years’ professional salon grooming experience

•     Level 3 dog grooming qualification (or equivalent hands-on training and experience)

•     Confident across all breeds, coat types, and styling requests

•     Strong hand-scissoring and clipping skills

•     A grooming portfolio showcasing your work, and references from previous salon employment

•     Eligible to work in the UK

What We Offer

•     Competitive pay, based on experience

•     Full-time or part-time - we’re happy to be flexible for the right person

•     Hands-on mentoring and real space to develop alongside experienced groomers

•     A clear path to grow with the business as your skills build

•     A workplace genuinely designed around its team

•     A client base in an underserved corner of East London

•     Company pension
