About the role
At Herndon Animal Medical Center, we believe great care starts with really knowing the pets and families we serve. Every visit is personal, not just a number on the schedule. Great medicine here starts with a great team: our doctors, technicians, assistants, and client service crew work together, and we've built a culture around communication, respect, and speaking up for the patient in front of you. If you bring a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and genuine care for people and animals, you'll fit right in.
What You'll Be Doing
- Greeting clients and patients like they matter, because they do (even the anxious dog dragging its owner backward through the door).
- Answering phones and emails promptly and professionally, no one likes being put on hold forever.
- Scheduling appointments, follow-ups, drop-offs, and rechecks so the day flows.
- Holding check-ins, check-outs, payments, and the "wait, what's this charge for?" questions with patience.
- Making sure clients understand their pet's instructions, meds, and next steps before they walk out the door.
- Keeping the medical team in the loop on schedule flow, patient needs, and anything a client mentioned that they should know.
- Handling prescription refill requests and pharmacy communication as directed.
- Keeping client and patient records accurate — details matter here.
- Keeping the lobby clean, organized, and welcoming (first impressions count).
- Pitching in on reminders, records requests, and the general admin stuff that keeps the hospital running.
Who We're Looking For
- Experience in a vet hospital, medical office, or customer service role is a plus.
- A strong communicator in person, on the phone, and in writing.
- Friendly and professional, even when things get hectic.
- Able to juggle multiple things at once without dropping the ball.
- Comfortable with computers and scheduling software (or ready to learn a new system).
- Able to handle sensitive or emotional client situations with compassion and a level head.
- Team-first, reliable, and on time.
- Comfortable being around dogs and cats in a hospital setting all day.
What You Get In Return
- Competitive hourly pay based on experience.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- 401(k) with company match.
- Paid time off and paid holidays.
- Continuing education support, because we want you leveling up.
- Uniform allowance.
- Employee pet care discounts (yes, for your own pets).
- Real training and professional development, not just a binder you skim once.
- A team that's got your back, focused on great care and great people.
