You'll be a friendly face for our clients and their pets, while also taking responsibility for the administration that helps keep our practice running smoothly.
This includes bookings, payments, paperwork, reminders, pet travel paperwork, pet insurance claims, Health Care Plans and other day-to-day administration.
It's a varied, hands-on role where you'll need to be organised, proactive and happy to turn your hand to whatever needs doing, while always keeping our patients, clients and team at the heart of what you do.

About You
We're looking for someone who is:
Organised and reliable

Confident speaking to people and happy around animals
Good at keeping on top of different tasks
Comfortable using computers and learning new systems
Able to work independently and use their initiative

Previous veterinary reception or administration experience would be great, but it's not essential. We're more interested in finding someone who is kind, hardworking, organised and will fit in well with our team.
Why Join Us?
We're a proudly independent, small animal practice. At Pear Tree Vets, we prioritise kindness, honesty and community – and that applies to our team just as much as our patients.
We're a friendly and supportive team, and this is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys a varied role and wants to become an important part of our practice.
