**About Us**

We believe that life is better with animals and when we dedicate ourselves to helping others. We believe strong and healthy relationships matter and that is why Ashlands Veterinary Centre is the Vet of choice. The team is amazing and the work we do makes a positive impact on so many families who rely on their pets for love, connection, and support.

**About You**

We’re looking for someone who is a bubbly, outgoing person who loves helping clients get what they need and making them happy. You’ll also be one of those people who are good at reading people and dealing with strong emotions.

You will be one of (if not the most) trustworthy, honest person you know. You can be serious when needed, but in general, you like to have fun at work.

You’ll also be the sort of person who scares their friends with how organised you are. You are the person in your group who gets places early and is always hustling everyone else along

Most importantly we are looking for someone who can fit our team culture and values. Those values and how they influence our behaviour are why we have such a special team vibe. So here’s what matters most to us:
We’re honest. We’re kind. We are conscientious. We value teamwork. We’re all about growth & learning. We’re fun

If these things really matter to you too, there’s a very high chance we’ll get along well.

**The Job**

Being part of our Reception Team is a challenging but rewarding role. It doesn’t suit everyone as you need to be calm in stressful situations and a reassuring first point of contact for a client, that at times will be upset, frustrated and worried about their pet.

- Ensuring the reception area meets our hygiene standard.
- Cashing up each day.
