About us
We are a progressive practice with a passion for pets, people and innovation. Our expansion has given us more space to care for our growing patient base and better facilities for the team, including a dedicated study area and a large rest room.
Our close-knit team includes 2 Senior Client Care Advisors, one being our Client Care Administrator, followed by another 3 Client Care Advisors. Our clinical team consists of 4 full time vets, with a nursing team of 10, all supported by our proactive Practice Manager. We work closely together to deliver the best client journey and outstanding care while supporting each other every step of the way.
One thing that makes us different is that our Client Care team have dedicated call handling space away from the desk. This means our hosting role is entirely focused on welcoming and supporting clients in the practice, allowing for truly high-level customer service.

* Act as the first point of contact for day-to-day queries within the Client Care team
* Help drive improvements in client communication and service delivery
What we're looking for
* Proven face to face client service experience in a busy, customer-focused environment

* Leadership potential, with a coaching mindset to mentor and support colleagues
* Organised and able to multi-task with good attention to detail
* Positive, proactive and good at problem-solving
* Comfortable handling payments, insurance queries and client accounts
* Confident using IT systems
