This Client Care Coordinator position is an essential part of our renowned Surgery service. In this specialized role, you will work collaboratively with our surgeons, technicians, and support staff in our Surgery Department to ensure seamless delivery of excellent client service while a pet is hospitalized. This impactful role provides daily opportunity to make a positive difference in the quality of life of our patients and clients.

The Coordinator will act as an integral point person for both clients and surgical veterinary staff; liaising information, facilitating patient movement within the hospital, and providing our clients with a valuable resource during their pet’s surgical hospitalization. Ideal applicants will have at least 2 years experience in a hands‑on and/or client service role in a veterinary facility, animal shelter/humane society, or other animal related field.

Relative experience in a human medical position is also welcomed.

This role relies on strong communication skills as the Coordinator is a direct line between our Veterinarians and the client, acting as a central resource and relaying critical information through multiple channels.

This non‑clinical client service role is perfect for someone who excels in providing outstanding client service, but wants the opportunity to also work with animals in a less technical role.
