    Trafford Park, Stretford

    Pay: £27,000.00-£27,500.00 per year Job Description: Experienced veterinary receptionist wanted for independent mobile vet clinic - work from Trafford Park office – full time Are you looking for something a little different from the norm? We are a mobile small animal veterinary clinic based from south Manchester - covering the local area offering consultations, vaccinations and surgery on the client’s doorstep. We’re seeking a friendly, reliable and organized receptionist to join our team. As the first point of contact for our clients, the receptionist plays a crucial role in providing exceptional customer service and ensuring the smooth operation of our practice.

Work is carried out from our central office in Trafford Park and would entail answering customer queries over the phone, email and social media, receiving deliveries and admin work.

We want to offer the best customer service possible. We aim to offer high quality veterinary care while keeping the stress for our patients to an absolute minimum. We can offer reduced stress and a supportive work environment, a competitive salary, starting from £27k for four 10 hour days/week, 5 weeks holidays, and employee discounts on treatment/food. Depending on the number of applicants we may not be able to respond to all applicants individually. Experience • Previous veterinary reception or administrative experience is essential, demonstrating familiarity with clinic workflows and client interactions, • Strong organizational skills with the ability to multitask, • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, to engage confidently with clients and team members, • A compassionate attitude towards animals and pet owners, coupled with a proactive approach to problem-solving This role offers an exciting opportunity to be part of a dedicated mobile veterinary team committed to delivering compassionate pet care. If you’re energetic, detail-oriented, and eager to contribute to a supportive environment where animals come first, we’d love to hear from you!
