Job Description

Merryweathers is an award winning groomers with two salons (Haywards Heath & Horsham).

We are looking for an experienced groomer to join our Haywards Heath team.

Haywards Heath is a luxury, full service salon with a very varied client base.

We have a team of six amazing, creative and experienced groomers who are all kind, fun and supportive and work together as a team to ensure all our dogs are happy and look tip top! Our groomers stay with us a long time. This role is to replace our lovely groomer who had been with us for four years and after starting with us as a bather, is now off to set up her own home salon (and also come back to cover holidays!).

We can be very flexible with our working hours for the right person, including extending our hours four days a week for a full time five day a week salary. We can also offer part time roles or a regular five day a week role. For us, its all about the right person.

Our salons are fully equipped with the most up to date equipment including hydro baths and individual stand dryers. Our salons are both air conditioned and we are crate free (we have very large comfortable pens with beds & water - a much quieter environment!).

We work hard to ensure that we offer the best service and have the best grooming team!

Things you should know about us....

When you join us you will have an individual induction programme including 2 weeks of 1:1 training with our Manager, Sally. This is regardless of the level you come in at - its important to us that whilst everyone has their own style, we all have the same high standard. After your initial training we also offer on going training including seminars & courses.

We only use our own brand shampoo. Its vegan, sensitive, organic, smells divine and excellent at cleaning fur. Above all its kind to groomers hands and we designed it after one of our team developed an allergic reaction to almost every other shampoo and considered giving up grooming. Now she is allergy free!

We tailor our grooming time according to the dog and not profit. If a dog takes 3 hrs, then thats how long you book it in for. No targets!

We work 1:1 with our dogs. The dog is with you throughout their time in the salon from entrance to exit. Its a more comfortable experience for the dog and a less hectic experience for you!

What can we offer?

We can offer a very competitive salary, 28 days holiday a year, a pension (after six months), tips, bonus, flexi time and plenty of ongoing training as well as regular just eat / deliveroo sessions!
