Job description

Are you ready to find your perfect fit with a privately owned, American Animal Hospital Association Accredited veterinary hospital?

In our hospital, maintaining a positive, cooperative, teamwork environment is critical when it comes to our goal of being the most trusted veterinary hospital in the area. Our clients are the best and expect nothing but world class service from our team, and we’re delighted to provide the highest level of care for our clients and their pets. That care shows in our customer reviews and our employee retention rate. We laugh, we have fun, and when times get tough we rise to the challenge!

To see if we’re the kind of team you want to be a part of, check out our reviews on Facebook and Google.

Ideal candidates for this Part Time position will be:

• Computer savvy, able to learn new software quickly (We use Avimark, but experience is not required - we can train the right candidate)
• Confident and courteous on the phone
• Creative problem solvers
• Organized
• Eager to learn
• Able to consistently work the hours as listed below

This position will cover four shifts during the week and every fourth Saturday. Office hours are 7:30 am - 6:00 pm M-F for staff and this position is for shifts on Mondays from 9:00 - 6:00pm, and Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 12:00-6:00 pm. Must be available every fourth Saturday from 7:45 am -12:00 pm and on regularly scheduled shifts around holidays. The office closes at 6:00pm but the closing receptionist stays until the last client is checked out and closing duties are performed. This is typically between 6:00-6:30 pm with rare exceptions. All employees working a full 8 hour day are required to take a one hour uninterrupted lunch break to relax, recharge and rest.

Duties include but are not limited to:

• Cheerfully greeting customers and their pets on arrival

• Cleaning up animal messes that occur in the lobby or outside
• Cleaning exam rooms as needed

Please take a look at your resume and update the job history if it's not current. We're interested in your entire job history, not just animal-related jobs.

Note: Applicants should answer all screening questions to show that you are eager to join our team! Incomplete applications will not be considered.

This is a drug-free work environment. Criminal background checks and drug screens are performed as a condition of employment after an offer has been made.
