Receptionist Training jobs in London, ON

The Role

We’re looking for a friendly, organized, and compassionate Veterinary Receptionist to join our team at Staples Animal Hospital.

As one of the first and last people our clients interact with, our reception team plays an incredibly important role in the client and patient experience. You’ll welcome clients and their pets, answer phones and emails, schedule appointments, process payments, maintain accurate client and patient information, and help keep the day running smoothly.

Veterinary reception is much more than answering phones, you’ll help clients navigate everything from welcoming a new puppy or kitten to managing an unexpected illness or saying goodbye to a beloved pet. We’re looking for someone who can provide excellent customer service while remaining calm, compassionate, and organized in a busy veterinary environment.

• Growth you can see – We invest in our people through continuing-education stipends, in-house training, and clear career pathways.
• Community & culture – From volunteer partnerships with local rescues/rehabilitations to staff appreciation events (yes, there are snacks!), you’ll feel the difference in our warm, inclusive atmosphere.

If you’re energized by a dynamic clinic atmosphere, love helping both pets and their people, and want your ideas to matter, read on!
