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.

Additional duties include keeping areas clean, entering patient records, assisting vets and nurses, registering clients, handling payments, processing complaints, and insurance forms, placing product orders, and other administrative tasks.

MORE ABOUT YOU

A clean current driving license is essential, and access to a car is preferred.

This is a full-time role working 40 hours per week, we are looking for someone to work a mix of shifts between 7:30 am- 7 pm Monday to Friday, with weekend and bank-holiday shifts on rota.
