**Schedule**: 30-40 hours per week, mix of morning and evening shifts, every other Saturday

**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
