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:

Front-of-house client care

-- welcoming, educating, guiding, and following through with clients in person

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.

stakeholders

-- people who show up with purpose.


We need someone who:

Reads between the lines -- not just takes instructions Thinks ahead -- not just answers the immediate question Communicates clearly, professionally, and with heart Owns what lands with them -- and sees it through (even if that means delegating) Keeps a high standard -- because your

standard is our reputation

This role requires:

A professional appearance and confident manner Proven experience in a client-facing setting Strong computer literacy and adaptability with software A calm, composed approach to pressure, with compassion and care for pets and people Flexibility to cover absence and work within the weekend rota

Who This Would Suit

Someone from the veterinary or healthcare world who wants to focus on

client experience and advocacy

A standout from another fast-paced client environment who's ready to work in a mission-led, pet-focused space

What You'll Get
