Are you a friendly, professional, and compassionate Veterinary Receptionist to be the welcoming face of our clinics in Anstead and Marburg? As part of our front-of-house team, you will play a key role in delivering outstanding service to both clients and their pets. Our Anstead practice consists of a small animal clinic and equine hospital, and our Marburg practice consists of a small animal clinic and equine reproduction centre. We practice a high standard of medicine and surgery in our well-equipped, modern and very busy practices.

The successful applicant must display:

  • Excellent customer service and receptionist skills
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • The ability to problem solve and prioritise work
  • Computer literacy (prior knowledge of veterinary computer operating systems will be highly regarded)
  • Understanding of veterinary terminology
  • The ability to manage deadlines
  • Well presented and able to work both unsupervised and within a team

Prior experience in a veterinary receptionist role and/or veterinary nursing experience is essential. Equine knowledge or equine nursing experience would also be considered advantageous. The position is for shifts Monday-Friday with occasional Saturday work. Ideal candidates would ideally work 2-3 days per week to full-time.

About the Role

This is a client-facing, fast-paced role that requires strong communication, attention to detail, and the ability to multitask. You will be working closely with our vets, nurses, and fellow reception staff to ensure a smooth, supportive experience for every pet owner who walks through our doors. Your daily tasks may include:

  • Greeting clients and checking in patients
  • Scheduling appointments and managing bookings across both clinics

  • Responding to email enquiries
  • Processing payments
  • Assisting with client paperwork, reminders, and follow-ups
  • Liaising with the clinical team to ensure timely and clear communication
  • Supporting a calm and welcoming reception area for pets and people

About You

Experience in a vet clinic, medical practice, or customer service role is highly valued, but we are happy to train the right person with the right attitude. You do not need to be a vet nurse, but you do need to be:

  • Passionate about animals and exceptional client care
  • Friendly, patient, and professional in your communication
  • Able to multitask and stay composed during busy periods
  • Tech-savvy and comfortable using veterinary or medical software
  • Organised, reliable, and a strong team player
