Veterinary Receptionist – Casual / Part-Time | Tauranga

Join our friendly team in beautiful Tauranga

We're a small, family-owned veterinary clinic looking for a warm, caring, and capable Receptionist to join our close-knit team. This is a casual, part-time position (averaging 1–2 days per week) and includes two Saturday mornings per month.

If you love animals, people, and being part of a supportive, fun workplace where every day is different — we'd love to hear from you.


About the role

As our front-line superstar, you'll be the first friendly face (and voice) our clients meet. Your role will include:

  • Greeting clients and making them feel welcome
  • Triaging patients over the phone and providing sound advice
  • Scheduling appointments and managing bookings
  • Supporting our vets and nurses with smooth clinic flow
  • Handling payments and general reception duties

Because you'll often be the first point of contact for worried pet owners, empathy, patience, and clear communication are essential.


What we're looking for

  • Some veterinary or animal care industry experience
  • Confidence with phone triage and booking systems
  • A warm, professional, and approachable manner
  • The ability to stay calm and organised under pressure
  • A genuine love for people and their pets
  • A great fit with our friendly, family-style team

Experience with EzyVet or previous veterinary reception experience would be a bonus, but not essential.


Why join us?

  • Work in a supportive, family-owned clinic that truly values teamwork
  • Enjoy varied, flexible hours (perfect for work-life balance)
  • Be part of a positive, caring environment where your contribution makes a real difference
