Looking for a role where attention to detail changes lives?
At Pets at Home, we're building the world's best pet care platform for pets and the people who love them. Behind every successful colleague journey is a team that makes things happen—and we're looking for an Immigration People Assistant to join ours.

Within 12 months, this role will evolve into the wider People Operations Shared Services function and expose you to wider People/HR Operational processes.
