Veterinary Receptionist

If you love delivering outstanding service, thrive in a busy environment, and enjoy being part of a supportive team, we’d love to welcome you to Epsom Vets for Pets.

This isn’t just a front desk role, you’ll be the heart of the practice, creating positive experiences for pets and their people every single day.

What Your Day Will Look Like

No two days are the same, and that’s exactly how you like it.

• Be the warm, friendly face greeting clients and their pets
• Provide exceptional customer service from arrival to departure
• Act as the vital link between clients and the clinical team
• Manage bookings, payments, and enquiries confidently
• Keep the practice running smoothly using our online booking system
• Offer reassurance, guidance, and support whether celebrating a new puppy visit or comforting a worried owner

Your ability to build strong relationships with clients, pets, and colleagues will be key. We want every client to leave feeling cared for, valued, and confident in their pet’s care.

All led by Lenesa Govender, our Lead Vet and Practice Owner, who opened the practice in 2016 and brings 18+ years of veterinary experience, much of it in senior roles.
