Alafia River Animal Hospital is seeking to hire an experienced receptionist/customer service representative. We are a two veterinarian, fast paced small animal hospital located about half an hour outside of Tampa. We offer both veterinary services and boarding. See required duties and responsibilities below.

The receptionist provides the first impression of the hospital to clients and patients. The receptionist must be friendly, professional and courteous, and capable of handling many tasks at once with interruptions. The receptionist must remain calm while busy or when clients are upset. This is a fast-paced position with very little time to sit down. This position requires excellent customer service, good computer skills, basic math skills, and a team attitude. Punctuality is expected. Since the receptionists are occasionally called upon to assist with patients, the position requires an employee capable of lifting up to 40 lb. unaided and able to stand or walk for most of the day.

To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The employee must be able to multi-task. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
