Love animals, enjoy helping people, and want a role where you’re part of a bigger team?

Wexford Veterinary Hospital is looking for a friendly, organised Veterinary Receptionist to join our mixed veterinary practice. This is a key front-of-house role within a busy, established veterinary hospital, where you’ll be the welcoming face of the practice and an essential support to both clients and clinical staff.
