Vacancy Detail
Divine Dogs grooming services are looking for an apprentice to join the team.
At Divine Dogs they offer a full groom service, that you will learn, including:
- Washing
- Dry styling
- Nail cutting
- Ear cleaning
- General Husbandry
There will be contact with clients face to face and over the phone, using the database to book appointments and update information, also cleaning inside and outside areas.
Divine Dogs are looking for a friendly, outgoing person to join their small team of 5 staff. Communication is essential, both within the team and with their customers.
A hard-working attitude is definitely needed. This is a very physical, hot, messy, itchy job!
You will, of course, also get to have cuddles and fun with some of the dogs. There will also be those who want to kiss you all over or be unhappy about being groomed, so you must be confident with all sizes and breeds!
The apprenticeship includes core values, and we like to embed these into our apprenticeship program, such as functional skills in maths and English when needed. You must be a UK resident to qualify for apprenticeship funding and must not have completed this qualification previously.
Divine Dogs is in a great location with access via public transport.
The Apprenticeship programme does not involve any time in a classroom environment, instead, all learning is onsite on the job with real-time learning.
