Somerset, United Kingdom Companion Care Full time

**We are looking for a**
**Combined Receptionist**
**& Animal Care Assistant**

This is a brand-new role which requires absolutely no previous veterinary experience, which will teach you all the ins and outs of veterinary practice life by incorporating regular reception and patient-care shifts into your working week.

This role involves assisting our whole team - Vets, Nurses, and Receptionists - on a daily basis. You will learn how to greet our clients, make appointments, and give great advice on reception. You’ll be taught how to clean and maintain the practice and its equipment, and you’ll help to take care of our in-patients - amongst so many other things. It’s physically and emotionally tough, as you’ll experience first-hand about all the highs and lows of looking after other people’s pets in their time of need. It’s often messy, sometimes smellybut always rewarding. You will be in close proximity to medical and surgical situations from day one, so you must have the constitution to not only cope with scenes of surgery but be excited by and thrive in that environment.

You will be provided with a fixed and reliable rota, enabling you to plan your personal life around work well into the future. Your 40-hour contract will include weekday shifts 9am - 7pm, and one in three weekends (Sat 9am-5pm, Sun 10:30am-4:30pm), but you will not be required to work any out of hours nor on call.

If you are prepared to undertake this exciting career change, and you enjoy working with people at least as much as you enjoy working with animals (because pets don’t bring themselves to the vets), then we would love to hear from you.

**We typically receive an overwhelming amount of interest in these vacancies -**
**so take the time to stand out and make the best impression
