Job Description:

You’ve got the basics under your belt and you’re ready to build real confidence and skill. You’ll groom dogs in a calm, supportive environment, learning alongside experienced groomers who genuinely want to help you get better - not just keep the column moving. This is a brilliant spot for someone with a learning mindset who wants room to develop.

Day to day, you’ll:

• Carry out grooms - bathing, drying, clipping, and styling - building towards full grooms across more breeds and coat types

• Provide nail trims, ear cleaning, and tidy finishing touches

• Learn from and work alongside experienced groomers, taking on more as your confidence grows

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

• Talk with owners about their dog’s groom - friendly, warm, and 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

• At least 1 year of professional grooming experience

• Level 2 dog grooming qualification (or equivalent hands-on training and experience)

• Comfortable with bathing, drying, clipping, and basic styling - and keen to widen your range

• Genuinely eager to learn, take feedback, and develop your craft

• A grooming portfolio or examples of your work, and references from previous 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
