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.
DentalVets is a leading, RCVS accredited, small animal dentistry referral clinic in Haddington.
We are committed to delivering the highest possible standard of care throughout every stage of the client journey, and our reception team plays a vital role in achieving this.
Due to the retirement of a valued member of our team, we are looking to welcome a new Receptionist to join us.

This role is akin to a front-of-house hospitality position - client care is at the heart of everything we do. While you won’t be part of the clinical team or work directly with animals, you will play a crucial part in supporting their care through excellent service and communication.
