We are looking for a brilliant, enthusiastic and dedicated Receptionist to join our front of house team. This role is fast-paced within a friendly team with no two working days the same, so we are looking for a calm and committed person who enjoys a challenge and works well under pressure.

 

 

Penmellyn Vets is a six-site practice based in mid-Cornwall. We truly believe that this is the best part of the country, with sunshine (sometimes), amazing coastline (always) and lovely people! We have a central hospital in St Columb Major, surrounded by satellite surgeries in St Austell, Newquay, Pool, Bodmin and Padstow. We believe the front of house team plays a key role in our clients and patients' experience, the friendly and caring voice on the phone and the warm welcome when our clients arrive.

 

 We are a busy group of practices, so we are looking for someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment whilst keeping patient care as their main priority. If you are looking for a varied and engaging role, then this may be for you!
