Part Time

Apply
An exciting opportunity for an experienced Veterinary Receptionist has opened to join the wonderful team at our first opinion, small animal veterinary practices in Thrapston and Rushden, both part of the Lake View Veterinary Group.  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.

Why join us?


Situated within the picturesque surroundings of Northamptonshire, our modern practice is one of four within our group, offering an exceptional opportunity for a dedicated professional to join our experienced team.
