About the Role
This isn’t reception. This isn’t admin.
This is client advocacy — and it’s central to how we deliver care.
As a Pet Health Advisor, you’ll be the key point of contact between clients and our clinical team. Your focus is the client journey — creating clarity, calm, and connection at every step.
You’ll work across two main areas:
1. Front-of-house client care — welcoming, educating, guiding, and following through with clients in person
2. Telephony and digital support — problem-solving remotely with warmth, accuracy, and urgency
This role is fast-paced and full-on — but never chaotic. We’ve built a structured, high-performing client care environment where phones don’t ring on the floor, roles are clearly defined, and you have the time to do your job well.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re not looking for placeholders. We’re looking for stakeholders — people who show up with purpose.
We need someone who:
3. Reads between the lines — not just takes instructions
4. Thinks ahead — not just answers the immediate question
5. Communicates clearly, professionally, and with heart
6. Owns what lands with them — and sees it through (even if that means delegating)
7. Keeps a high standard — because your standard is our reputation
This role requires:
8. A professional appearance and confident manner
9. Proven experience in a client-facing setting
10. Strong computer literacy and adaptability with software
11. A calm, composed approach to pressure, with compassion and care for pets and people
12. Flexibility to cover absence and work within the weekend rota
Who This Would Suit
13. Someone from the veterinary or healthcare world who wants to focus on client experience and advocacy
14. A standout from another fast-paced client environment who’s ready to work in a mission-led, pet-focused space
What You’ll Get
15. Structured in-house training and onboarding — giving you confidence, consistency, and time to earn trust
16. Once you're established: space to grow into digital engagement, client education, and care coordination
17. CPD access via the Vets4Pets Learning Academy
18. Pension scheme and retail discount benefits through the Pets at Home Group
19. Supportive team culture that backs your development and rewards high standards
