D&H currently has an opening for a full-time Bather I or II.

BATHER I or II POSITION

D&H is seeking a full-time Bather / Dog Washer. Prior bathing or kennel experience is preferred, and animal handling experience is required. A Bather's principal duties are washing and drying dogs, but also expect about 30% of your time to be spent cleaning and practicing proper hygiene practices throughout the shop with your fellow Bathing Team. This is a labor-intensive position and our Bathers work very hard physically. Compensation is $16-$19 hourly, based on experience. Bathers also receive a scaled tip-share after 60 days on the job, which typically averages an additional $0.50-$1 an hour, in addition to the base hourly rate. We do not work on commission. D&H is an equal opportunity employer.

The required shifts for this position are as follows:

• Full-Time: Tuesday through Friday, 8:30am to 5pm, and Saturday, 9:00am to 5:30pm.

OR

• Full-Time: Tuesday through Friday, 7:45am to 4:15pm, and Saturday, 8:45am to 5:15pm.

• Saturdays are required for all Full-Time employees.
• Occasional Saturdays may finish slightly earlier or later.
• On the second Saturday of every month there is a staff meeting with a 8:30am start time.
• Overtime hours are regularly available.
• A schedule with an earlier or later start time could be accommodated for the right candidate for the Full-Time position.

Motivated and dedicated Bathers will have advancement opportunities to learn additional skills, possibly including the trade of high-end dog grooming. For example, our Bather that was hired in 2018 has become our Boutique Manager, and another Bather hired in 2019 was promoted to the position of BathingRoom Supervisor for one year and then advanced to a Groomer’s Apprentice III and worked in our Grooming Salon. We highly prefer to promote from within our company, but advancements like those listed above are merit-based and not guaranteed.

**If you would like to be considered for this position, please include your resume and a short cover letter with your application.**
