• Assist with prescription pickups, food requests, and OTC products as directed
• Maintain confidentiality and ensure compliance with hospital policies

• Maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming reception area
• Support cross-departmental workflow to keep the hospital running smoothly
• Adapt as hospital needs evolve-this is a true team-based environment

Preferred Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• Previous veterinary or medical office experience preferred (emergency or specialty experience a plus).
• Excellent communication, organizational, and customer service skills.
• Ability to multitask in a busy environment while maintaining accuracy and composure.
• Comfort working with computers and veterinary software.
• Availability for flexible scheduling, including weekends and some holidays, to support our emergency and specialty services.
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds when assisting patients or clients.
