We are looking for someone to join our reception team for maternity cover.
Do you love animals and people alike? Maybe this is the perfect opportunity for you!
A fantastic opening for an enthusiastic, passionate individual who is looking for a role where they can make a difference.
The role is to provide reception cover across all four of our surgeries in Abingdon, Didcot, Wallingford, and Wantage. Weekend and bank holiday shifts will be at our Abingdon site. You will need to be able to travel to any of our sites as required.
This role requires the ability to work alone and includes responsibilities such as greeting clients and pets, managing front-of-house, assisting with prescriptions, dispensing medications, booking appointments, stock control, and preparing paperwork for vets. Additional duties include keeping areas clean, entering patient records, assisting vets and nurses, registering clients, handling payments and insurance forms, placing product orders, and other administrative tasks.
Join a team you are proud to be part of
If successful in your application, you will be working as part of an excellent team and get to enjoy being part of the process of helping animals and their owners. Abingdale (part of Independent Vet Care) provides a supportive and friendly environment to work where your own goals and professional growth will be actively supported and encouraged.
