At Hunter Veterinary Clinic we care for animals and their humans.

Do you find passion in helping people get the best care for their pets? Do you want to work in a tight-knit, fast-paced environment where you get to see all kind of animals, from puppies and kittens to rabbits, hedgehogs, parrots, and even owls and eagles? Our veterinary receptionists split their time between our traditional "dog" lobby and our "quiet lobby - a completely separate entrance where quiet and shy pets can have some peace and quiet.

We’re looking for those with experience in a veterinary clinic setting, but are happy to commit to training the right, highly motivated person. For someone who thrives behind the front desk, but also is happy to track down a detailed answer for an owner from our team of knowledgeable staff. Of course we offer a competitive salary, paid time off, retirement benefits with a match, health insurance for you, and discounted pet care for your pets, but we’re told the reason you’ll stay is because of the way we take care of you.

Successful veterinary receptionists must:

1. Possess excellent verbal communication skills while truly caring about the owners who bring their pets to us

2. Be able to balance greeting clients, answering the phone, and checking clients in and out at the same time without anyone feeling forgotten

3. Love and be comfortable around dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small mammals

4. Work with and care for our team, while being highly motivated to learn new skills
