About The Role

Veterinary Receptionist

Streatham Hill, SW London
Full-Time | Day Shifts | 1:4 Weekends |

Are you passionate about delivering exceptional client care and creating a truly welcoming experience?

At the award-winning Streatham Hill Veterinary Surgery, we are looking for a Veterinary Receptionist to join our thriving, high-end 24-hour hospital (day shifts only). This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who takes pride in delivering first-class service and thrives in a premium, client-focused environment.

We are not just looking for a receptionist — we are looking for someone who embodies a “nothing is too much trouble” approach and can consistently provide a warm, professional, and compassionate experience to both clients and their beloved pets.

About the Role

You will be the face and voice of the practice — the first impression our clients receive, whether in person or over the phone. Your ability to create trust, reassurance, and connection is key.

Your day may include:

• Delivering a five-star welcome to every client and their pet
• Managing a busy reception desk with efficiency, composure, and professionalism
• Booking and managing appointments using RX Works
• Supporting clients with queries, appointments, and medication collections
• Processing payments and finance applications with accuracy and sensitivity
• Promoting our healthcare plans with confidence and care
• Liaising closely with our Vet and Nursing teams to ensure a seamless client journey
• Managing administrative tasks including scanning records and handling correspondence

About You

You are confident, personable, and genuinely love building relationships. You understand the importance of empathy, especially when clients may be worried about their pets.

You will have:

• Proven experience in a demanding customer-facing role (veterinary or hotel experience desirable)
• A natural ability to engage in conversation, putting clients instantly at ease
• An impeccable phone manner that reflects a caring, calm, and professional approach
• A “nothing is too much trouble” mindset and a passion for going above and beyond
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
• A genuine love of animals — you are truly pet-obsessed
• A smart, polished appearance, reflecting the standards of a private practice
• Experience with RxWorks is a strong advantage

Working Pattern

• 40 hours per week
• Shifts between 7:30am – 8:00pm (day shifts only)
• 1 in 4 weekends on a rota basis
• Share of bank holidays
• Must live within 45 minutes of Streatham Hill, SW London

What We Offer

• A supportive and professional team environment
• The opportunity to work in a respected, high-quality private practice
• Clear career progression pathways
• Achievement-based milestones and rewards — the more you grow and contribute, the more you are recognised
• The chance to make a genuine difference to clients and their pets every single day

If you are passionate about people, pets, and delivering a first-class client experience, we would love to hear from you.
