Receptionist

General responsibilities would probably entail answering phones, collecting payments, scheduling follow-up appointments, dispensing medications and selling items that may be available behind the counter. Other duties may vary from office to office, but one very specific duty of the receptionist is to be able to differentiate the difference between an emergency and a routine office visit. Since the veterinary reception is the main means of communication between the medical staff and the clients, it is his or her job to communicate to the vet or vet techs any emergencies that walk through the door. Other tasks may involve keeping the waiting area clean and well organized, locking up at the end of the day, calling to confirm appointments and collecting and sending mail.Upon hiring, all new employees will be subject to a 90-day probationary period during which time employment may be terminated as determined by management. All requirements are subject to change by the employer at any time.
