Office Manager

Sandringham Veterinary Hospital

Nov 2012 - May 2022

9 years 7 months

Working at this Veterinary Practice for almost 11 years taught me a lot about clients, animals and myself. I learnt so much and enjoyed almost every second working there. I was in charge of almost everything, I would hire new staff, train them and I even assisted with the nursing of baby animals as well as some surgeries. I was in charge of all the staff and was the HR Manager as well giving advice and helping my fellow colleagues in whatever way I could. I also worked in Reception assisting with phone calls, face to face interactions with clients, assisting in sales of the animal products and giving advice as I studied the foods and products and received certificates for my further studies. The Vets also trained me on some medications as well as other areas of the business such as stock control and minor procedures.
