Working as a Receptionist can allow you to play an important role as part of the team at any animal charity or hospital. Receptionists are responsible for the first impression received by a client (by phone or visit), and they are the interface between visitors, staff, adopters, veterinary practices, other organisations and volunteers.

The animal welfare charity environment can be highly stressful. To succeed in this role, it is important that you have a calm disposition, are able to work well in a busy environment and that you are organised and able to effectively prioritise your work load.
