“I’m getting experience that will stay with me, wherever I go.” Josh, Warehouse Colleague.
About us:
At Pets at Home, our aim is to give the nation’s pets what they need to be at their ball-chasing, tail-wagging best. Because we won’t rest until every spaniel has a squeezy toy. Every calico has a cat tree. Every rabbit has a run.
Our Warehouse Colleagues are at the heart of that mission. Their work is varied and fast paced, dedicated to ensuring pet owners across the country have access to the very best advice, care, and products. Join us, and you’ll see that we’re not just any old distribution centre.
The role:
This is a hands-on role working in our distribution centre, where you’ll be lifting, picking, packing and wrapping. It’s a job jam-packed full of variety that keeps our customers – and their pets – happy. Like many warehouse positions, it’s not always easy, but you’ll have a team that’s got your back and all the support you need to be at your best for pets across the country.
Whether you’re straight out of school, or have worked somewhere like this before, we’ve got a role for you. Here, everyone’s invited. Experience won’t hold you back, and we’ll give you all the training you need to thrive.
You’ll start with our comprehensive, 12-week training programme to get you settled in, confident and ready for every new opportunity. From new skills and experience, all the way up to qualifications, when it comes to development, we’re not cutting any corners. How far you take it is up to you, but whatever you choose, we’ll be there to support you every step of the way.

- Full-time work
- Flexible shift patterns
- Training and development
- Qualifications
- Career prospects across our business

Your future with us:
We always need lots of great people to join us in helping the UK’s pets live happy lives and, in return, enjoy the great benefits we offer. There will also be opportunities to move to roles in other parts of our business, so whatever the future has in store for you, your career is safe with us.
You’ll get the best training and support to develop your skills – for now and for your future, and we also offer flexible shift patterns and the opportunity to gain new qualifications.
