At VCA River Road Animal Clinic, providing Urgent Care services to Oregon's Willamette Valley, we believe that customer service is a vital component of the high quality patient care that we practice every day.

We are only looking for the best - those team members who embrace a career of continual learning, who have the highest work ethic, who understand the need to communicate with pet owners in a way that is professional and empathetic, and who know that their job performance helps build our reputation in the community.

Necessary skills include the ability to keyboard with ease, navigate user-friendly computer software, manage a multi-line phone system, confidently and competently take messages and schedule appointments, and process invoices.

Desired experience includes time in the veterinary industry and comfort level in a clinical setting.

Keizer, Oregon shares many things with the the capital city of Salem, including direct boundaries, and an enviable position right in the middle of three very different ecosystems - the green Willamette Valley, Oregon's coastal range, and our east side's desert climate - hiking, skiing / snowboarding, bicycling, whale watching, and everything in between are a short drive away.
