including hand-stripping, scissoring, and breed-standard clipping. (Future services will include feline grooming, teeth cleaning, and ozone therapy).

Client Relations: Provide a patient, ethical, and highly professional experience for both the animals and their owners.
Candidate Requirements
Qualifications & Proof of Work: Must be fully certified. A portfolio (photos and videos) of your recent grooming work is strictly required for consideration.
Language Skills: Fluent English is mandatory. Zero Italian is required on day one, but a verified willingness to learn is essential (the employer will provide language training). If fluent Italian, that's a great plus from the start.
Logistics & Mobility: A valid Category B driving license
