Dog Groomer – Subcontractor
We’re looking for an experienced Dog Groomer to work from Swanbourne Veterinary Centre on a subcontractor basis.
This would suit someone who enjoys running their own grooming business but would like to work from an established, professional veterinary environment with a supportive team around them.
We’re looking for someone who is confident grooming a wide range of breeds and coat types, takes pride in producing high-quality work, and handles dogs calmly, kindly and safely.
You’ll need to:
• Have professional dog grooming experience
• Hold your own ABN and operate as an independent contractor
• Supply your own grooming equipment, tools and shampoos/products
• Be confident with clipping, scissoring, bathing, drying and coat care

We’re looking for someone reliable and professional who would like to build a long-term working relationship with our practice and clients.
