Job description

Join Jarrell Animal Hospital, where our guiding mission is providing thorough, caring, and comprehensive veterinary services to every animal in the Jarrell community. Since 2019, we have established ourselves as a trusted partner in pet healthcare, a commitment reflected in our excellent 4.8-star Google rating. We treat every pet like our own, and you will quickly become part of a deeply supportive culture focused on patient wellness, urgent care, and diagnostics. If you are ready to be valued for your expertise and dedication, this is the environment where you can truly begin to do your best work. At Jarrell Animal Hospital, you will join an established and collaborative group of teammates, including four dedicated veterinarians and an LVT serving in the critical role of Hospital Manager. We believe that professional growth starts with stability and support. By providing the resources and mentorship needed to succeed, we ensure that every member of the hospital is equipped to deliver the highest standard of medicine. Here, you have the structure and team support to achieve your career goals within a group that has been serving this community since 2019. The quality of medicine we deliver is directly supported by our exceptional facility and advanced diagnostic capabilities. Teammates have access to advanced care tools including in-hospital x-ray capabilities, in-hospital ultrasonography, and in-hospital dental radiology. Surgical procedures are conducted in our dedicated in-hospital surgery suite, and complex cases benefit from a closely supervised hospitalization area, including a separate closely supervised quarantine area when required. This investment in equipment, along with a well-stocked pharmacy, ensures that we can handle a wide spectrum of pet wellness, testing, urgent care, and advanced medical cases completely in-house.

Jarrell Animal Hospital is located in Jarrell, Texas, a rapidly growing and welcoming community just north of Austin. Situated at 104 Western Sky Trail, the hospital offers a convenient and accessible location for local pet owners. Joining our practice means becoming an integral part of a close-knit community that highly values compassionate animal care and supports local businesses. If you are seeking a career opportunity in an accessible Central Texas location that still offers comprehensive and advanced veterinary medicine, Jarrell is the ideal setting for you to grow.

Your Impact as a Receptionist

• Be the Director of First Impressions: You'll manage a multi-line phone system, greet clients with a positive attitude, and ensure every interaction reflects our commitment to compassionate care.
• Ensure Seamless Care Coordination: You'll maintain accurate medical records, manage appointment schedules, and handle financial transactions, keeping the hospital running smoothly and efficiently.

• Embody Compassion and Empathy: You'll be a calming presence for clients, demonstrating empathy and respect in every situation and treating each pet like your own.

What You'll Bring to the Team

• A passion for providing excellent customer service and a genuine love for animals.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to manage stressful situations with good judgment and a positive attitude.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize and multitask in a fast-paced environment.
• A collaborative, team-first mindset and the ability to work both independently and with direction.
• Experience with veterinary software is preferred. A flexible schedule, including some weekends and holidays, is required.
