How you'll make a difference
Your role as Client Care Advisor at The Pride Veterinary Centre and sites will be very varied and fast paced. We need applicants who have skills in remaining positive and professional at all times, regardless of what is happening around them and their current workload.
You will be taking referral calls from other practices, making appointments, assisting clients with queries on the phone as well as in person, reassuring clients, listening to their needs, taking payments, and solving problems. Attention to detail is essential, as is enjoyment of being in a busy customer care role. As the appointments within the Referrals side of the practice aren’t the usual check-up or vaccination, the pets and their owners may have travelled some distance to be with us in order to obtain the best specialist care. Having consideration for this added element to their visit would be a helpful aptitude.
