About The Role
We put pets first. The pet care, welfare and clinical expertise of our group-wide colleagues is essential to what makes us Pets. This role forms part of a team responsible for strengthening retail colleague capability, guiding a transition towards a confident, empowered workforce who make welfare-first decisions at every interaction.
