The practice is independently run, by father daughter team Chris and Emma, they are supported by a fantastic team, who are committed to delivering an outstanding level of service in the community and through this they have enabled a real “proud to be part of the team” work ethos.

Chris, Emma, and the wider team have a proven history of supporting staff through their personal development, an example of this is shown with their current Head Receptionist who joined the practice as a CCA and through the guidance and support of all the staff has recently been promoted to Head Receptionist. This shows where a career at Craigleith can take you!

• Your ability to build strong relationships with our clients, their pets and the practice team will be critical to your success.
• Your great client service during a client’s visit will make sure that their absolute satisfaction is achieved, and that the client leaves knowing that they have received exceptional service and look forward to their next visit.
• You will greet each client and offer support, guidance, and expertise, managing payments and future bookings confidently. Coordinating the smooth running of the day-to-day routines of the practice will be done using our online booking system, so computer literacy is a must.
  
  
  

This role is full-time working 40 hours per week offering the right candidate flexible hours to create a role with real work life balance.



The attributes required:

• You are the friendly and welcoming face for the client and their pets when they arrive at the practice.

• Your personality is infectious and along with your fellow colleagues, you create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere in the practice.
  
  
  

In short, you like to be busy, enjoy helping people and their pets and always endeavour to make a difference.
