Groomer & First assistant/ Cover

If you are a groomer, you would be doing grooming but we would also train you up to manage walks of 8 dogs with an assistant to cover when people are on holiday.

You are likely to find yourself doing some walks / pick up and drop off in between grooming appointments too.

The ideal groomer would also be able to be trainer up to manage scheduling of administration of the business.


First assistant/ Cover

You would assist Tom and the main team/trainers on walks and do drop off's pick up's and errands like dropping off a dog or buying a client who's just had a baby etc a gift.

You would be trained you up to manage walks of 8 dogs with an assistant yourself to cover when people are on holiday.

You are likely to have your own regular small groups and 121 walks to do each day as well. You would get to shadow and assist some training sessions.

The ideal first assist would learn about all the dogs and clients and so how to schedule and be prepared to potentially manage the business.

Your Hours.

- *During heatwaves some early starts will be required but PM's will then be off or just relaxing in doors with some dogs._

Alternatively, you may be asked to pay the additional insurance premium or supply your own vehicle or insurance.

Excellent communications skills, organization, timing and reliability.

Lateness or poor organisations leads to it getting dark in winter so not fitting in the walks or dogs being left at home too long so, it is a critical skill.
