Who we are

Bradford Pet Hospital is a locally owned veterinary clinic in Olathe, Kansas, where pets are treated as family — and we actually mean it. We are not a corporate chain churning patients through the door. We take our time, build real relationships with our clients, and create a space where both pets and their humans feel genuinely cared for.

We are looking for a full-time receptionist who gets that. Someone who wants to be part of a small, tight-knit team where your work actually matters.

What you will do

You are the first voice our clients hear and the first face they see. That is a big deal to us. Your day will include:

• Answering phones with warmth, and actually listening to what clients need
• Scheduling appointments and keeping things running smoothly
• Checking clients in and out, and processing payments
• Communicating with our veterinary team so nothing falls through the cracks
• Keeping the front desk organised and the lobby welcoming
• Being a calm, reassuring presence — even when things get hectic

Who you are

Let us be real about what we are looking for:

• You show up. On time, ready to work, with a good attitude. Every day.
• You can think on your feet. Phones ringing, client at the desk, dog barking in the back — you handle it.
• You are genuinely friendly. Not fake-customer-service friendly. Actually friendly.
• You leave your baggage at the door. We all have hard days, but when you are here, you are present.
• You are comfortable with computers. You do not need to be a tech wizard, but you can navigate scheduling software and basic office programs.
• You care about animals. That probably goes without saying, but we are saying it anyway.

Prior veterinary or medical reception experience is a plus, but attitude and reliability matter more to us than a perfect resume.

What we offer

• A supportive team that respects you and values your contribution
• A work environment that is not toxic — we know that is sadly rare in this industry
• The chance to build real relationships with clients and their pets
• Competitive pay based on experience
