About this role
Taverham Veterinary Hospital is looking for a part-time receptionist to join our superstar reception team to cover maternity leave for 12 months.

Our fantastic team
Currently, we have 34 Veterinary Surgeons, 41 Registered Veterinary Nurses, 5 Student Veterinary Nurses, 9 Animal Nursing Assistants and 30+ Support staff. Many of our Vets and Nurses are certificate holders in multiple disciplines.
As part of our commitment to giving back, we support several charities. We are proud to run the Norwich division of StreetVet from Taverham Veterinary Hospital, headed up by our super vet Claire! StreetVet is a charity that provides essential veterinary care to the animals of those experiencing homelessness, for which many of our team volunteer. Our team regularly fundraise with quiz and chips nights, with the most recent event in January raising over £2,000!
We support Dogs Trust and regularly welcome their resident dogs to attend hydrotherapy sessions at our practice, and we take great satisfaction in knowing that we are making a positive difference in the lives of these animals.
