This is a full-time position, working 40 hours per week, covering Monday-Friday. This position may also require some weekend working when needed.
You will be based between our 2 sites in Walkden and Worsley, so the ability to travel is essential.

As a Receptionist, you will provide a friendly and efficient service to our clients and their animals. You will need to be able to work well within a team as well as working individually, however, support from your peers is always on hand. We are a professional and personable team working in a very challenging and busy environment, which makes the role varied, and interesting and where no day is ever the same!
You will need to have the ability to remain calm under pressure and also show empathy towards everything that is thrown at you, from sharing the excitement of a puppy's first visit to the vet or comforting a client who has received some bad news regarding their pet.
Day-to-day duties of the role will include answering phones, responding to emails, booking appointments, registering new clients, completing insurance forms, dispensing medications, taking payments and providing a warm and welcoming experience to our clients arriving to the clinic.

As one of our Receptionists, you will have access to our Client Care Hub. This is a dedicated space on our Knowledge Hub for all client care resources. You will be invited to join a support session within your first few weeks of being in the business, where you will meet a Learning Partner and begin your training journey. You can then join further sessions at any point over the following six months to ask any questions you may have regarding your training. This training is alongside the training you will receive in practice.
