Dog Groomer needed

Are you interested in joining a well-established, popular and growing Dog Groomers based in the Battle / Seddlescombe area? TN33

We have an awesome opportunity for an qualified Dog Groomer looking to expand or start up their business by collaborating with me, Paige, at The Hairy Hound

Due to increasing demand (it’s super busy) I'm putting together a small team of expert dog groomers to keep all our furry friends happy And meet demand as unfortunately I’m turning away new customers daily - which is really disappointingSo I need someone to come along and help.

I’m looking for a qualified Dog Groomer to join me in an independent role as part of The Hairy Hound team.

A few years experience would be ideal for this position, but not necessary if you are qualified and looking to start your own clientele. This is also a good opportunity for you as you’ll be renting a table (which gives access to all our facilities - listed below) and will be trusted to operate on your own when I’m not around (you’ll have an access key for yourself).

We’re based in a VERY busy garden centre, and footfall is really high. So expect a fast pace of work and plenty of new business. Although if you do have some regular clients, please do bring them along.

What’s in it for you?
- You’ll have access to dozens of new clients, and footfall to generate A LOT of business
- Free advertising in the garden centre and on their website (we are not part of the garden centre, but operate on their site), as well as by a local football club and at dog shows
- You get to use the beautiful Hairy Hound workspace (air-conditioned, safe, clean and modern grooming environment)
- Full use of electric grooming table, baths, dryers and blasters
- Access to our range of shampoos, conditioners, sprays and towels (plus a first aid kit on-site), and trade accounts to purchase
- Access to all of our harnesses and holding assistance
- Full internet access
- All power, heating, light and water is covered by rent
- Free parking
- Discounts at the Garden Centre, and all other partner businesses on site

Must-haves
- Experience running a dog grooming business
- Ability to provide your own public liability insurance
- Be equipped with your own tools/sharps (some facilities provided)
- You must hold a recognised City & Guilds professional Dog Grooming qualification

For access to facilities, site, customer base and brand, we have two partnership options.

Option 1: a fixed rental paid daily or weekly
