We are currently seeking an Office Manager to support a team of 5 busy vets in a locally owned and operated large animal veterinary practice based in Ashburton.

• Entering farm visit sheets and ensuring team accountability
• Providing outstanding customer service – point of sale and client communication
• Scheduling jobs and managing the team’s diary
• Offering secretarial and administrative support to vets
• Processing timesheets and managing annual leave bookings
• Liaising with suppliers and pharmaceutical reps
• Potential opportunities to assist vets on-farm (if you’re keen!)

What we’re looking for: The ideal candidate is organised, technically savvy, and brings a good sense of humour to the team. You’ll be confident taking initiative and thrive in a small, busy environment.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need:

• A minimum of 5 years’ office/administration experience
• High levels of accuracy and attention to detail
• Professional presentation and clear communication skills
• A quick learning ability and adaptable attitude
• Solid computer literacy
