Apply: Experienced Groomer - PETstock Ocean Grove

About PETstock:

At PETstock, we aim to help pets inspire every person, every family, every day. We’re a global pet care retailer with more than 150 sites across Australia and New Zealand. We cater for a pet’s every need by providing a huge range of animal care products, food and services like pet grooming and training, as well as in-house veterinary hospitals.

PETstock is passionate about making a difference for pets in need by raising money and awareness through our in-house charity foundation, PETstock Assist. Over 50% of our team donate to PETstock Assist and, as a team member, you’ll have the opportunity to further support the cause through in-store adoption drives, animal shelter food donations, fundraising events and in-store customer donations.

PETstock people are animal lovers who know customer service is more than just sales. We want our team to know their customers’ names, their pets’ names and to remember to ask Tess how Georgia’s ballet concert went or if Darcy won his footy game on the weekend. We look for people who are personable, can create fun within their workplace and want to see their store succeed.

Recognised as the Australian Retailer of the Year & in numerous Employer of Choice award programs, PETstock treats its team members like part of the family. Our team are empowered and supported to grow themselves to be the best they can be. You won’t be treated as a number and you will be given lots of opportunities to grow both professionally and personally.
