Garden State Veterinary Services | Woodbridge

We believe in Truth in Medicine and Trust in Partnerships, ensuring we always provide the highest standard of care. Come join us and make a meaningful impact on the community you serve.

This is not a call center job. This is a client care role where every call matters, every voice is heard, and the quality of your service makes a real difference for families and their pets.

We’re looking for someone who is genuinely service‑oriented — a people person who brings warmth, empathy, and superior client service skills to every interaction. Our clients are pet owners facing emergencies and navigating specialty care during some of their most difficult moments. You will be the first voice they hear, and your ability to listen, reassure, and follow through is what sets this role apart.

What We’re Looking For

• A client‑first mindset with demonstrated ability to deliver empathetic, high‑touch service — especially in high‑stress and emotionally charged situations
• Superior active listening skills — you hear what clients need, respond with care, and make every caller feel valued
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a warm, professional, and reassuring phone presence
• Excellent attention to detail in scheduling, documentation, and message management
• Ability to multitask effectively — managing calls, messages, scheduling, and coordination simultaneously without sacrificing accuracy
• Proven ability to follow established protocols and procedures consistently
• Comfort working in a fast‑paced environment that requires prioritization and follow‑through on every task

What You’ll Do

• Answer all inbound calls promptly and professionally, ensuring clients are greeted, informed, and feel they are in the right hands
• Provide reassurance and clear communication to clients who may be anxious or emotional, maintaining a calm and supportive tone
• Schedule specialty and emergency appointments according to service‑specific criteria, coordinating with medical teams to keep clients updated
• Conduct follow‑up calls after ER visits and hospitalizations per hospital protocol
• Document all communications accurately and completely in the medical record system
• Manage hospital messages — ensuring they are clear, correctly routed, and followed through to completion
• Monitor hold times and call flow to ensure no client is left waiting without a check‑in

Qualifications

• Experience in client services, healthcare, veterinary, or hospitality environments preferred
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Proficiency with multi‑line phone systems and scheduling software (training provided on hospital‑specific systems)
• Ability to work at least one weekend day per week in a 24/7 hospital environment

Why GSVS Woodbridge

• A supportive, team‑oriented culture that values accountability and service excellence
• The opportunity to play a meaningful role in patient and client care every day
• A growing 24/7 emergency and specialty hospital with strong community reputation

If you take pride in making people feel heard, cared for, and confident they called the right place — we want to hear from you.

Scheduled:

• Tuesday – Saturday
