Careers at The Lincoln Dog Groomer
We don't advertise often, because people tend to stay. But we'd always rather hear from someone good and have them on file than miss them.
That doesn't mean don't apply. We keep every application on file and go back through them first when something does come up — which is more often than the lack of adverts suggests.
What it's actually like
We groom one pet at a time. That means you get to do the job properly rather than racing the clock, and it's the main reason people who join tend to stay.
We're a small team, so everyone does a bit of everything — grooming, talking to owners, keeping the salon right. If you want to be left alone in a back room all day this isn't the place; if you like the customer side as well as the grooming, it is.
Who we're usually after
- Qualified groomers — City & Guilds, iPET, OCN or equivalent, with salon experience.
- Groomers part-way through training — we'll work around a course.
- Apprentices — no experience needed, but you must genuinely like dogs on their worst day as well as their best.
- Bathers and salon assistants — often how people start here.
Being honest about the job: it's physical, it's wet, and some days you'll be scratched. Dogs don't care what sort of week you're having. If that's put you off, it's better you know now.
