Want to join a team who will become your family?

Well don’t we have the work family for you!

RECEPTIONIST - PART TIME

Dreaming of a role where you’re surrounded by wagging tails, purrs, and an incredible team who feels like family?
At Maraboon Vet, we’re on the lookout for a part-time Veterinary Receptionist to join our busy Emerald hospital — the heart of our practices across the Central Highlands.

If you’re a bubbly extrovert who is passionate about animals, thrives on multitasking, and genuinely loves making people smile, this could be your dream job.

 

What makes this role AMAZING! 
  • Real Work-Life Balance: Three weekday mornings (Mon, Thu, Fri 8 am–1 pm) + one Saturday in four (8:30 am–2 pm).
  • Supportive Team Culture: We’re big believers in kindness, teamwork, and building each other up — even on the busy days. We love having a laugh together and working hard to deliver exceptional veterinary services.
  • Diverse, Hands-On Practice: From routine appointment to complex surgeries and emergencies, we do it all in-house — no two days are ever the same!
  • Career Growth: Ongoing training and continuing education opportunities to help you grow your skills and confidence.
  • Great Pay: $25–$30/hr (depending on experience) + permanent part-time stability.
  • Long-Term Stability: Join a close-knit, experienced team with an excellent staff retention record.

 

What you'll be doing

You’ll be the heart of our hospital working with the admin team — greeting clients, juggling bookings, supporting the rest of the team, and keeping everything running smoothly across our three locations (Emerald, Blackwater, and Maraboon Rural Vet).
Your days will include:

  • Delivering warm and professional service to clients and their pets

  • Managing bookings, phone calls, emails, and appointment/surgical scheduling

  • Handling payments and daily reconciliations

  • Keeping stock and inventory organised

  • Assisting with marketing and social media posts

  • Bringing your energy and positivity to every shift!

 

We're looking for
  •  A people person with a bubbly, friendly, outgoing nature

  • Excellent communicator and team player

  • Organised, adaptable, and calm under pressure

  • Confident using computers (MS Office, Gmail, etc.)

  • Prior customer service experience (bonus points for health or medical experience)!

  • Most importantly — a genuine love for animals
