We are looking for a professional who demonstrates composure under pressure, a genuine affinity for animals, and the interpersonal skills to support clients across a wide range of experiences — including those that are emotionally demanding.

- Professional development opportunities
Salary: $19.00 - $20.00 per hour, determined by the candidate's skills, experience, and qualifications.
Schedule: Full-time position consisting of four 10-hour shifts per week, with rotating Saturday mornings.
Hospital Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM; Saturday, 8:00 AM–1:00 PM.
Responsibilities
- Greet and check in clients and patients at the front desk, collect intake information, and confirm appointment details in a professional and welcoming manner
- Answer and manage a multi-line telephone system, directing calls and responding to inquiries regarding scheduling, services, and general information
- Perform client check-out, including payment processing, posting charges, and scheduling future appointments
- Provide composed and compassionate customer service to clients experiencing anxiety, distress, or difficult news regarding their pet's health
- Perform accurate data entry and maintain organized records in the practice management system following onboarding and training
- Communicate effectively with clinical staff to relay messages, flag urgent situations, and support efficient daily operations
- Maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming reception and waiting area
Qualifications
- Minimum 1 year of experience in a front desk, receptionist, or customer service role in a medical, dental, urgent care, veterinary, or high-volume service environment
- Proven customer service skills with strong verbal and written communication, including active listening and conflict resolution
- Experience with appointment scheduling, multi-line phone systems, data entry, and payment processing or point-of-sale (POS)
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail; ability to multitask effectively in a fast-paced environment
- Proficient in Microsoft Office; comfortable learning new software and workflows
- Reliable, punctual, and professional; ability to work independently and as part of a team
- Genuine affinity for animals and comfort working in a clinical setting
Experience in a veterinary clinic, animal care facility, or medical office; familiarity with veterinary or medical terminology; or PIMS software experience (Cornerstone, Avimark, ImproMed, eVetPractice, or ezyVet) is considered a strong asset.
