About us:
At Pets at Home, we’re committed to making sure pets and their owners get the very best advice, care and products. It’s what’s driven our success. 
As we continue to grow, so does the demand for our pet care supplies. That’s why we’re expanding our warehouse teams.  
Join us, and you’ll see that we’re not any old distribution centre. We want to be the best pet care company in the world. And to help us get there, we aim to do the best for our colleagues. 
We’ll be upfront about this. We’re moving to a bigger, brand-new purpose-built facility in Stafford in the next couple of years. We’ll be giving our teams the opportunity to come with us, but we realise this might not be for everyone. So, there’ll also be the opportunity to move to roles in other parts of our business. In the meantime, we still need lots of great people to join us in helping Northampton’s pets live happy lives and, in return, enjoy the great benefits we offer.  
Whether your future is within our distribution centres or our wider Group, we’re committed to developing all our colleagues. So, you’ll get the best training and support to develop your skills – for now and for your future, whatever you decide to do next.
