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. If you enjoy variety, working with people and animals, and being part of a professional, supportive environment, this could be a great fit.

As a Veterinary Receptionist, you’ll be the first point of contact for clients, providing a friendly, calm and professional welcome both in person and over the phone. Your day-to-day will include managing appointments using our booking system, handling calls and emails, processing payments, completing end-of-day procedures and supporting the smooth running of the hospital. You’ll also assist with stock deliveries and light lifting, maintain a clean and organised front-of-house area, and support the wider team with general administrative tasks. Over time, you’ll build strong product and service knowledge to help confidently answer client queries.

You’ll be joining a friendly and experienced team of 8 vets, 6 nurses, 2 animal care assistants and 8 support team members, all committed to supporting one another and creating a positive, welcoming place to work.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with people, stays organised in a busy setting and genuinely cares about animal welfare. You’ll have previous experience in a receptionist or customer-facing role, be comfortable using IT systems and handling payments, and feel confident communicating with clients about appointments and fees. Strong organisation skills, attention to detail, a professional manner and a positive, team-focused attitude are essential.
