Position Overview & Specifications
Woody & Friends dog boutique, based on the high street of Great Missenden is looking for an experienced self-employed dog groomer to join our busy one-to-one salon with flexible working days including Saturday, starting as soon as possible. This is an opportunity for a groomer, such as someone home based with their own business, wanting some high street presence, or working at another salon wanting extra days. This would suit someone looking for flexible work and you would be part of a lovely team. You must be at least Level 3 City & Guilds qualified or with relevant years’ experience. You would need to be able to work independently and be confident meeting the dog, discussing the requirements with the customer, bathing, drying and styling yourself. You would be grooming for our own established customer base booked already for the year, so you just need to turn up and groom and invoice for your work. We have shop helpers to assist with booking appointments and running the admin side. We have excellent rates of pay circa £20ph - come and speak to our current groomers and see our set up, we’d love to show you!
