  • Hands-on training and mentorship to support long-term growth across a variety of roles within the hospital, whether you're aiming to grow in client care, pursue hands-on animal work, or simply build a meaningful long-term role.
  • Bi-annual scrub allowance of $75
  • Emphasis on work-life balance to support your well-being
  • Collaborative, positive team culture with mentorship and growth opportunities
  • Key Responsibilities :

  • Be the first point of contact : Greet clients and their pets warmly, complete the sign-in process, verify and confirm appointment details, and ensure clients feel informed and reassured.

  • Manage client communications : Handle incoming calls for appointments, care questions, prescription refills, and more. Make outbound calls for appointment reminders and follow-up care.
