Your great client service during a client’s visit will make sure that their absolute satisfaction is given, and that the client leaves knowing that they have received exceptional service and look forward to their next visit.

You will bring enthusiasm and drive to your role. Your passion for service is matched with your love of pets.
You can deal with everything that is thrown at you, from comforting a client who has had some bad news about their pet or sharing in the joy of a new puppy’s first visit to the vet.
Your personality is infectious and along with your fellow colleagues, you create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere in the practice.
Previous receptionist experience would be preferred, but not essential.
In short, you like to be busy, enjoy helping people and their pets and always endeavour to make a difference.
