Folly Veterinary Centre

17/02/2025

We are open! Although Commercial street is partly shut off for the next 8 weeks due to road works, Folly Vets are open as usual.

If coming by car, just follow the yellow diversion signs and it will bring you to the small free carpark on Rosemary Lane, or the multi-storey at the bottom end of town. We also have a few carpark spaces directly behind the practice ☺️

All bus routes are still operating too so don't be put off.

WE ARE HIRING

We are looking for a Part Time Veterinary Receptionist to join our independent veterinary practice and be part of a compassionate and dedicated group of professionals who are committed to providing exceptional care to our furry friends.

As the first point of contact for our clients, you will play a crucial role in ensuring a positive experience for both pets and their owners. Experience of previously working within a veterinary practice would be desirable, but is not essential.

The hours are to be discussed and are part time and we are looking for a receptionist that can cover holidays and provide extra cover if needed so ideally can be flexible with sickness, holiday cover etc.

We are open from 9-6:30 Monday to Friday and some Saturdays 9-1pm.
If you have a passion for animals, excellent customer service skills, and the ability to thrive in a dynamic environment, we would love to hear from you.

Please submit your resume along with a cover letter highlighting your relevant experience to: [email protected]

Can we just take a minute to say how beautiful Mabel and Mavis are! 😍😍😍

The 6-month old sisters were both in on Tuesday to be spayed. As we've mentioned a few times, ginger female cats are a rather rare occurrence, and these two were incredibly sweet and well-behaved.

Simba and Rosie came in last week to be castrated and spayed respectively.

The 5 month old siblings looked after each other in their recovery kennel 🥰

It was a pleasure to have you here guys 😍

So today is apparently Blue Monday..... When post Christmas blues, drab weather and low motivation levels culminate in a generally 'meh' kind of day.

We hope your Monday hasn't been *too* blue, please post some cute pet pics below to cheer us all up 😍

Please meet the beautiful Scottish Fold Toffee!!

Toffee came in for her spay last week, and whilst under anaesthetic, she had a little groom to get rid of some unwanted tangles.

Please be aware there is a company called "Sercanto" which is based in Italy advertising a part time receptionist position at our practice. This is a scam! Please DO NOT reply to the "Sercanto" vacancy. Stay safe everyone 😳
