Closing date for applications: 31 July 2026 however, this may close earlier if we have great applicants, so please get your details to us as soon as possible. Please note we do not have a vacancy for a ACA, VCA or SVN - your application will not be taken any further if you are looking for this role.

Interview dates: Variety.

We are looking for a friendly, organised, and compassionate Veterinary Receptionist to join our team to cover maternity leave. This is a key front-of-house role within our busy practice, with the opportunity to become a permanent member of the team for the right person.

Working 40 hours per week, including 1 in 3 Saturday mornings, you will be at the heart of our client and patient experience - supporting both the rewarding and emotional aspects of veterinary care.

About the Role

As the first point of contact for our clients and their pets, you will play an essential role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of the practice. This position combines customer service, administration, and facilities support.

Maintaining a clean, fresh, and welcoming reception and waiting area
Relaying client queries to veterinary surgeons and nurses, and responding appropriately
Supporting ongoing client communication and follow-ups

About You

This role is ideal for someone who genuinely loves working with people and animals and understands that no two days are the same in veterinary practice.

You’ll be comfortable handling both happy moments and more sensitive situations, always approaching clients with kindness and empathy.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You:

Are friendly, organised, and customer-focused
Have excellent communication skills and a professional, welcoming manner
Have experience in a customer-facing role, with strong attention to detail
Can manage multiple tasks calmly and effectively in a busy, fast-paced, sometimes noisy environment
Work well as part of a close team and are happy to support colleagues
Have a proactive attitude and are open to learning and feedback

What We Offer

A supportive, team-focused working environment
The opportunity to develop your skills in a busy veterinary practice
Potential for a permanent position at the end of the fixed term contract
6.6 Weeks annual leave
Additional annual leave for your birthday which will be added to your holiday allowance
Enhanced family-friendly policies, including maternity/ paternity/ adoption/ shared parental and surrogacy pay
Cycle to work scheme
Initiatives focused on employee wellbeing
Non-accidental injury support
Learning and development opportunities via the IVC Evidensia Academy
