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.)
- 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.
