Opportunities in United Kingdom

About The Role

At inspiring vet care, our people are at the heart of everything we do. As the UK’s number one vet care provider, we're trusted with the care of over 2 million animals, delivering our purpose of healthier animals and happier owners.

We are seeking an organised, personable Receptionist to join our team at Hunt's Vets on a part-time permanent basis.

Hunt’s Veterinary Clinics first opened its doors in 1966 and although we were originally mixed practice we converted our clinics to cover small animal only in November 1997 and we’ve been caring for small animals ever since!

We are an RCVS accredited small animal practice with three branches: Poynton (main branch), Woodley and Cheadle Hulme. Each site is furnished to a high specification so that our high standards of care are uniform across all three sites.

Here at Hunt’s Vets we have a fantastic working environment which is credit to our wonderful, friendly team. We all really enjoy our working days together and we are never short of laughs. We have an experienced team which means we can offer some fantastic support!
