Veterinary Receptionist – Worthing – 32.5Hrs
Arun Veterinary Group – Worthing
VETERINARY RECEPTIONIST
32.5 hours per week, based at our busy Worthing Branch.
People work in the veterinary industry to help change the lives of pets and their owners. We share that calling. But we also understand that to be at your best for your patients, you need support, work-life balance, and opportunities for growth. We believe that every veterinary professional should feel part of a community that builds them up, connects them with their passion, and helps them thrive. That’s why we built Arun Veterinary Group. Together, we’re ‘more than a vets’. We’re proudly independent, and the freedom that this brings sets us apart. Clinical freedom; freedom to deliver care with a personal touch; freedom to do what’s right.
Be (truly) valued
We’re constructive, encouraging, and kind to one another – always. Inclusivity and collaboration ensure everyone feels respected and valued. The equality, kindness, and closeness that unites our team shapes our work; we treat our clients with respect, kindness, empathy, and professionalism.
Feel the difference
We work from four branch clinics (Worthing, Ashington, Pulborough, and Westergate) and two state-of-the-art hospitals (Storrington and Chichester). Our sister businesses, South Downs Emergency Vets and South Downs Veterinary Referrals operate from these two hospitals, and we work collaboratively to deliver exceptional, personalised care to our patients 24/7.
Our reception team are the face of our business. As front of house, our team is committed to delivering exemplary customer service at all times while offering compassion, patience, and dedication in a variety of situations. They are not just receptionists; they are essential collaborators between customers and the clinical team. We understand that our team is what makes Arun Veterinary Group great. Whether your interest is in customer service, building new skills, or something else entirely, we’re committed to nurturing your talents.
