Veterinary Receptionist

Join the Oak View Animal Clinic Team as a Veterinary Receptionist! Located in Pea Ridge, AR, conveniently near Bentonville, Oak View Animal Clinic is a well-established, progressive 3-doctor small animal practice providing high-quality veterinary care to pets and their families throughout Northwest Arkansas.

As a veterinary receptionist, you'll be an important part of the client and patient experience from the moment they walk through our doors. Our fast-paced veterinary hospital offers a wide range of services, including preventative care, surgery, high-speed dentistry, in-house diagnostics, digital dental radiology, medical and vacation boarding, and more.

Our team is friendly, experienced, and genuinely supportive. Many of our team members have been with Oak View Animal Clinic for years, creating a welcoming environment where people feel valued and supported. We believe great veterinary care starts with great teamwork, communication, and a shared commitment to our patients and clients.

As a veterinary receptionist, you'll work closely with our doctors and veterinary team to help keep the hospital running smoothly and ensure clients feel informed, welcomed, and cared for throughout their experience.

What You'll Do

• Welcome clients and patients with a warm, professional approach and create a positive veterinary experience.
• Answer phones, emails, and client questions while directing concerns to the appropriate veterinary team member.
• Triage client concerns and help determine the appropriate next step.
• Schedule appointments to maximize hospital efficiency and maintain a smooth daily flow.
• Check clients in and out, process payments, and assist with other front-desk responsibilities.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming reception area.
• Provide compassionate and discreet emotional support to clients during difficult or sensitive veterinary situations.
• Communicate effectively with clients and the veterinary team to help ensure excellent patient care.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a veterinary receptionist who is compassionate, calm, organized, and comfortable working in a busy veterinary environment. The ideal candidate is a strong communicator, team player, and multitasker who can stay composed while managing competing priorities.

• At least 1 year of veterinary reception or veterinary hospital experience is required.
• Strong communication and computer skills.
• Highly organized with excellent attention to detail.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently while contributing to the team.
• Comfortable discussing veterinary services, medical concerns, and various patient outcomes with clients.
• A genuine interest in veterinary medicine and providing exceptional client service.

You'll also have opportunities to grow your veterinary knowledge and skillset through virtual training, hands-on learning, and continuing development. Whether you want to become a master of your veterinary receptionist role or are looking toward your next career move, we'll support your growth along the way.

This is a hands-on veterinary environment, so team members must be comfortable working around animals and being exposed to unpleasant odors and noises, as well as potential bites, scratches, animal waste, and contagious diseases.

If you're an experienced veterinary receptionist looking for a supportive team, a progressive veterinary hospital, and an opportunity to make a difference for pets and their families, we'd love to meet you!
