Job description

We are seeking a dedicated and customer-focused individual to join our team as a part time or full time Client Service Representative. In this role, you will be the first point of contact for our customers and play a crucial role in providing exceptional service.

Animal Emergency of Killeen was founded by a coalition of local veterinarians from Temple, Belton, Killeen, Harker Heights, Gatesville, and surrounding rural communities who shared a vision: to provide high-quality, after-hours emergency care to Central Texas pet owners when regular clinics are closed. We’re not just another ER clinic, we’re a team that shows up for each other. We’re proud of our tight-knit, collaborative culture, where everyone—from doctors to support staff—pitches in, helps out, and makes each shift feel a little bit easier.

We are open evenings, weekends, and holidays to deliver the critical care our community depends on—and we do it with a team-first mentality and shared commitment to doing right by pets, clients, and each other.

Responsibilities

• Client Interaction and Communication:
  • Greet clients warmly and professionally, creating a welcoming and comforting atmosphere.
  • Schedule appointments, surgeries, and procedures, ensuring optimal utilization of veterinary staff and resources.
  • Answer phone calls, address client inquiries, and provide information about our services and policies.
• Check-In and Check-Out Procedures:
  • Efficiently manage client check-ins, verifying patient information, updating records, and obtaining necessary paperwork.
  • Process payments accurately and provide clients with detailed invoices and receipts.
  • Coordinate smooth check-out processes, including scheduling follow-up appointments and providing post-operative care instructions.
• Administrative Tasks and Record Keeping:
  • Maintain accurate electronic and paper records, including patient files, appointment logs, and client communication.
  • Handle administrative tasks such as filing, faxing, scanning, and data entry.
  • Manage and update client information in the practice management software.
• Client Education and Support:
  • Provide basic information about preventive care, vaccinations, and medications.
  • Assist clients with completing forms, explaining treatment plans, and addressing concerns.
• Team Collaboration:
  • Collaborate effectively with veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and support staff to ensure smooth patient flow and excellent client service.
  • Assist in coordinating appointments, procedures, and special requests.

The Client Service Representative is much more than just a receptionist. Our CSRs provide the first impression of the hospital to clients and patients.
