Contract: Part-time, Permanent

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

Our premises are purpose-built, our equipment is top-of-the-range and your pet’s wellbeing is our number one concern.

Our state-of-the art, purpose built animal care facility, specialising in the treatment of small animals, offers the finest in pet care and treatment while our animal ambulance ensures that even if you can’t make it to us, your animal can.

How You’ll Make a Difference 

This role is for you if you enjoy going above and beyond to welcome pets and their human guardians to the practice, understanding their individual needs, sharing in their joys and sorrows, and creating lasting relationships. No two days will be the same and you will be supported by an experienced and caring team of Vets and Vet Nurses within the Lake View Group. 

Often the first port of call, you will guide our clients through every situation with excellent customer service, an empathetic approach and professionalism to ensure their needs are met. The role is not always a glamorous one, but an exceptional candidate will feel at home whether cleaning kennels, discussing the merits of our Pet Health Club, or responding to client concerns. 

You will be competent at using client management software, well able to prioritise your workload, and confident in providing feedback / seeking clarification where required. This role is certainly not one where you will remain behind the desk; you will be proactively seeking ways in which you can make a positive difference for pets and their humans every single day. 

The position offered is for a part-time Veterinary Receptionist role working Monday to Thursday from 2pm until 7pm at our Rushden practice; Friday 2pm until 7pm at either Thrapston or Rushden; plus 1 in 3 Saturday mornings at our Thrapston practice.
