Veterinary Receptionist - Christchurch, United Kingdom - Magnolia House Veterinary Clinic

Description

We are an independent family-owned small animal and exotics practice located in the heart of Christchurch, Dorset, and are looking for an additional part time member for our Client Care team for a 12 month maternity cover position.

We are a practice that truly believes in personal, individualised patient and client care.

We know and care about our clients, and their pets are the core of our practice and at the heart of everything we do, so we are above all looking for a person who fits within our ethos.

We are a registered ISFM Cat Friendly practice, and also a Fear Free practice. Fear Free training is mandatory and will be paid for by the practice.

You need to have exceptional people skills - friendly, enthusiastic and compassionate, able to handle emotional situations and busy shifts.

You will be the first person our clients and pets meet when they contact or enter the clinic, and you need to make them feel welcome, build a relationship with them, and be able to provide help and support at all times.

Prior veterinary experience is preferred, but not essential - we are looking for the right person to fit within our practice culture, and training will be provided.

Please note that this is NOT a trainee nurse position or a pathway to a veterinary nurse apprenticeship, we are specifically looking for a team member who enjoys and recognises the importance of the reception/client care role within the team.

This is a part time, temporary, 12 month maternity cover position. The hours required would be Mon-Fri 2:30pm-7:30pm, with an additional 1 in 4 Saturday mornings (8am-12:30pm).

Benefits include 5 weeks of annual leave plus bank holidays pro-rata and discounted veterinary services for your own pets. Uniform is provided.

The starting date is in approximately 1 month.

Thank you all for your interest
