Part Time Veterinary Receptionist - Fixed Term Maternity Cover
Here at Airdrie VetsforPets, we are looking for a part-time Veterinary Receptionist to cover 12 months fixed term maternity leave with at least 1 year experience to join our team, starting early December.
About Our Practice
The practice opened in 2012 so we have a large loyal client base and see a wide variety of interesting cases. The previous owner decided to step down in 2022 and the practice was bought by Jenny, Andrea, & Jane in 2024. Between the 3 of us, we have over 50 years of experience working in the veterinary industry. We have worked in different types of practices and thus giving us insight into what it takes to have a healthy, enjoyable and productive work environment.
We strive to make Airdrie VetsforPets a place where employees feel supported, valued, can be themselves, have a good work life balance and genuinely enjoy coming to work.
Our team is made up of 5 Vets, 4 Nurses, 4 Receptionists and a Practice Manager. We are a close-knit team who enjoy meeting outside of work too.
