This is not a sit-behind-a-desk job. During your shifts you'll be on your feet, on the phone, greeting patients, walking them back to rehab, booking appointments and keeping a busy clinic running smoothly.
Part-time doesn't mean part-effort. We're looking for someone who brings full energy to every shift and wants to grow with a clinic that's expanding.
Who we are
We're a fast-growing chiropractic and wellness clinic helping patients with everything from back pain to neuropathy, gut health, weight loss and IV therapy. Our team runs on energy, accountability and positivity. We treat our patients — and each other — like family.
What a typical shift looks like
- Greet every patient by name and make them feel at home
- Answer a busy phone line and turn callers into scheduled patients
- Call past patients to reconnect them with care
- Walk patients back to rehab and keep the flow moving between the front desk and rehab
- Manage the schedule so every provider stays full
- Take payments, explain plans and collect accurately
- Keep patient information private and handled to HIPAA standards
- Spot problems and bring solutions, not complaints
You're a great fit if you are
- A natural people person who can start a conversation with anyone
- Confident and warm on the phone — people can hear your smile
- Dependable: you show up on time for every scheduled shift
- Quick to learn new software and comfortable with Google, Excel and scheduling systems
- Organized and detail-oriented, even when three things happen at once
- Coachable: you want feedback and use it to get better
- Comfortable on your feet and moving all shift
- Genuinely interested in health and wellness
- Someone who takes ownership and looks for ways to improve things
This is NOT for you if
- You struggle with punctuality or showing up consistently
- You need a schedule that changes week to week
- You don't enjoy talking to people all day
- You prefer a slow, quiet, low-accountability job
- Feedback frustrates you instead of motivating you
Requirements
- High school diploma or GED
- 2 years of customer service experience (medical, chiropractic, dental, hospitality, retail or sales all count)
- Comfortable with Google Workspace and Excel; able to learn new programs quickly
- Reliable daily transportation
- Available 20–30 hours per week on a consistent Monday–Friday schedule
- Healthcare front desk experience is a plus, not required — we'll train the right person
What you'll get
- Consistent part-time schedule, Monday–Friday — no weekends
- Pay raise when you successfully complete your 90-day introductory period
- Monthly performance bonus based on new patients you book who show up and stay with care
- Team bonus when the clinic hits its monthly goals together
- Major holidays off
- In-clinic wellness perks
- Paid training and real growth — a path to full-time as we expand
- A positive, high-energy team that feels like family
