Job Description

If you enjoy providing great service and working in a team, we have just the opportunity for you at Ipswich Vets for Pets!


We are a practice that places emphasis on each team member feeling valued, supported, and being able to impact the way we work. We are a busy, small animal practice in Ipswich, with a friendly and dedicated team.

What your typical day will look like

Your focus is to provide an exceptional service to our clients and the best care possible to their pets - providing a link between clients and the clinical team. Your ability to build strong relationships with our clients, their pets and the practice team will be critical to your success.


Your great client service during a client's visit will make sure that their absolute satisfaction is given, and that the client leaves knowing that they have received exceptional service and look forward to their next visit.


You will greet each client and offer support, guidance and expertise, managing payments and future bookings confidently. Coordinating the smooth running of the day-to-day routines of the practice will be done using our online booking system, so computer literacy is a must.

This role is working 38 hours a week with a mixture of shifts including long days (8.30am-7pm) and short days and a Saturday rota of 1 in 3.

The attributes required

You are the friendly and welcoming face for the client and their pets when they arrive at the practice. You are able to provide guidance by keeping yourself fully up-to-speed with the practice services and any additional services available. You are calm, attentive and always focus on the clients' needs. You will bring enthusiasm and drive to your role. Your passion for service is matched with your love of pets. You can deal with everything that is thrown at you, from comforting a client who has had some bad news about their pet or sharing in the joy of a new puppy's first visit to the vet. Your personality is infectious and along with your fellow colleagues, you create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere in the practice.

In short, you like to be busy, enjoy helping people and their pets and always endeavour to make a difference.

Benefits

In return, we offer such benefits as 20% discount at the Vet Group, Pets at Home and the Groom Room, access to discounts and cashbacks, in-house career development opportunities, pension and holiday allowance. Private healthcare and medical insurance will also be available after completion of probationary period. Progression opportunities on non-clinical role upon building experience, for the right candidate. You will initially be paid at 13.16 per hour.
