We are looking for a friendly Client Care Assistant to join our reception team in our locally owned small animal veterinary practice inside Pets at Home, Shrewsbury.

The overall aim of your role is to help clients and their pets have a positive experience by working together as a team to create a welcoming, positive and friendly atmosphere, while thinking on your feet, being adaptive, flexible and working well as a team to help the practice run smoothly.
You will be working a variety of shifts, totalling around 25 hours in the week including some 8.30am starts and 7pm finishes, plus one in three Saturday mornings. There will also be opportunities to work additional shifts covering holidays and team absence.
