Looking to hire a full time Bather for a busy grooming salon located in Orleans.
START DATE: ASAP
Please note we hire both full and part time bathers to ensure that we maintain a steady flow of clean dogs ready for their haircuts, to be performed by our full time groomers. There is a big emphasis on teamwork here as each dog is worked on by at least two people (bather & groomer) in order to provide diligent and consistent grooms for our clients.
You come to us with:
- Animal handling experience is extremely important. If you've never worked with animals before this may not be the right fit for you; exceptions might be made for the right candidate, but animal handling experience is much preferred (farm hands, working with horses, cows, other farm animals, dogs, cats etc.) Please be aware that we are looking professional experience, NOT your own pets.
- A strong initiative; outside of bathing dogs, our bathers are responsible for general housekeeping tasks such as: laundry, sweeping, vacuuming, mopping and garbage.
- A willingness to learn; there is a lot to learn in the process of becoming a bather, so it is important to come prepared to learn something new on a daily basis. Various lessons include a rundown of safe lifting, handling/holding techniques, product types and their uses, and a rundown of tools and their proper use.
- The physical ability to lift and restrain dogs from 5-150 lbs. safely (safely meaning knowing which dogs require 2/3 persons to lift)
You will need to perform full bathing services (bath, brush, comb, demat and blow dry) for dogs for a diverse range of pet owners. Attention to detail is key. This role is physically demanding and involves standing, bending, and lifting all day.
We offer:
- A guaranteed hourly rate, plus tips
