At HelloVet, we’re building something a little different — and we’re looking for a warm, motivated and forward-thinking Client Care Lead to help us do it.

This isn’t your typical Head Receptionist role. As our Client Care Lead, you’ll be at the heart of creating a modern, welcoming veterinary practice where technology makes life easier for our teams and our clients — and where every pet and person feels genuinely cared for.

You’ll guide and support our wonderful Client Care team across the Pod, while still being hands-on yourself — greeting clients, supporting them virtually, and making sure every interaction feels smooth, kind and professional.

If you love delivering outstanding service, enjoy bringing out the best in others, and want to help shape a fresh approach to veterinary care — we’d be delighted to hear from you.

As Client Care Lead, you will:

• Lead and inspire the Client Care team, creating a culture of honesty, professionalism and accountability

• Devise, implement and continuously improve our end-to-end client journey

• Work closely with the clinical team to ensure seamless service delivery

• Embrace technology to enhance communication and operational efficiency

• Act as an ambassador for the HelloVet brand and values
  
  

This is a varied role combining leadership, operational oversight, and hands-on client care both in-practice and virtually.
