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.

This role requires the ability to work alone and includes responsibilities such as greeting clients and pets, managing front-of-house, assisting with prescriptions, dispensing medications, booking appointments, stock control, and preparing paperwork for vets. 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.

If successful in your application, you will be working as part of an excellent team and get to enjoy being part of the process of helping animals and their owners. Abivale (part of Independent Vet Care) provides a supportive and friendly environment to work where your own goals and professional growth will be actively supported and encouraged.

We are looking for a confident person to provide a friendly and efficient supportive service to our clients and colleagues. We are looking for someone available to cover maternity leave, who ideally has some veterinary experience (but this is not essential as a good flexible attitude is more important than experience and training is provided). Skills needed include adaptability, strong communication, IT proficiency, empathy, ability to work in small teams, confident animal handling, and initiative. A clean current driving license is essential, and access to a car is preferred.

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. This is a varied role within the sort-after animal care industry and comes with excellent benefits. A minimum of 24 hours per week with the potential of extra hours to cover holidays and sickness.

Salary for this role is up to £14,500.
