Veterinary Receptionist
Passionate about pets and delivering excellent customer service? Then this is the role for you! Here at Overdale we are looking for a friendly and approachable Veterinary Receptionist to join our team on a part‑time basis.
We’re looking for someone with excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, and strong organisational abilities with keen attention to detail. The ideal candidate should be able to multitask and prioritise effectively in a fast‑paced environment. Proficiency in using IT systems for scheduling and record‑keeping is important. While experience in a veterinary setting is preferred, it is not essential. Above all we are looking for someone who is welcoming, proactive and enthusiastic.

About Us
Overdale is a long‑standing practice located in the heart of Buxton, providing services to the town and the surrounding areas, including the Hope Valley where we have a small branch. To the south of Buxton our catchment area overlaps with our sister practice McMurtry & Harding who have branches in Ashbourne and Wirksworth. We are a mixed practice providing care, advice and treatment for all animals great and small. In 2010 we entered into a voluntary scheme with our governing body the RCVS which gives you confidence that our practice and the services it offers have been ‘vetted’ and have passed.
