Amazing opportunity for an experienced dog groomer!
Our solo groomer of many years is retiring, and we need an experienced dog groomer (no cats!) to take over her existing clientele and grow our business! Join our team to support our loyal clients and adorable patients!
The ideal candidate is well-versed in grooming techniques and cuts for all breeds of dogs and has excellent client service skills. Current industry experience is required. We have an established client base, but the sky is the limit for growth.
Strawberry Hill Groom and Board, affiliated with Strawberry Hill Animal Hospital, was established in 1987 and has served the dogs in the Norwalk area for the past 36 years. We have a loyal existing client base, and they often book out the entire year ahead to reserve their slots in a regular grooming schedule. Our groomer has a dedicated room with a window looking out on the bank of cages housing the dogs being groomed. Bathing is done in our Dog Wash, which has raised platforms for easier bathing.
This is a full-time commission-based position with a flexible schedule – though at least one Saturday shift per month may be required. Currently, our groomer works one Saturday per month, and those are often coveted slots.
We offer an exceptional team environment to work in, competitive compensation, career growth potential, health insurance, 401(k), vacation, training, sick pay, and more.
We look forward to hearing from you. Apply today!
