  • Maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming reception and waiting area 

Qualifications

  • 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
