We're an independent neighbourhood veterinary practice and we pride ourselves on offering exceptional care for pets and their owners, delivered by a friendly and dedicated team. We are looking for an Experienced Veterinary Clinic Receptionist to join our team at our practice in Folkestone.

This is an important client-facing role, as you’ll often be the first person our clients meet, setting the tone for the care and compassion they can expect throughout their visit. We are looking for someone with veterinary clinic reception experience, outstanding communication skills, a professional yet welcoming manner, and the ability to remain calm and supportive even when things get busy.

We work closely as a team to ensure both our patients and clients receive the best possible experience, so being a team player is essential. Equally, you should feel confident managing your workload independently and staying organised under pressure.

Manage the diary and assist with patient admissions and treatment plans.
Process payments and handle billing queries with professionalism and discretion.
Keep accurate records and update client and patient information.
Support the veterinary team with administrative tasks as required.
Ensure the reception area is always tidy, stocked, and welcoming.
Responsible for reconciling end of day cash & credit card payments
Diligently dispense medications prepared by the clinical team.
Offer information on products and services available at the practice.

What We’re Looking For

Experience as a veterinary clinic receptionist is essential
Excellent customer service and interpersonal skills.
Strong organisational ability and confidence working under pressure.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office and veterinary practice management systems.
A compassionate, empathetic attitude towards pets and their owners.
A positive, adaptable approach and willingness to support the wider team
Lives within a 30-35 minute commute from the surgery.

The Offer

Competitive Salary: £22,880.00 pa (£13.75ph)
3 x weekdays per week (approximately 10 hours per shift)
1 x Saturday morning every 4 weeks (working 5 hours per shift)
Opportunity for overtime (paid at £16.50ph)
28 days holiday allowance (pro rata FTE)
BUPA Private Healthcare
Free healthcare for your pets
Supportive & welcoming team environment
Training & Development provided.

If you are currently working as a veterinary receptionist or if you have worked as a veterinary receptionist within the last 18 months and you have a minimum of one years experience working in a veterinary clinic as a receptionist; if you have an understanding of veterinary conditions and the ability to recognise if a pet needs to be seen immediately; if you are confident handling veterinary medicines; if you live within a 30-35 minute commute from the surgery and if you are someone who thrives in a busy, people-focused role and would like to join our team, then we’d love to hear from you.

Please apply using Indeed and provide your CV and covering letter.
