Outlook Veterinary Clinic is looking for an energetic and friendly Receptionist to join our team. The hours for this position will include weekdays and some Saturday's (shared). Currently our amazing team consists of 1 full time DVM, 3 licensed technologists and 1 receptionist with 1 casual kennel attendant. We are a busy, mixed animal practice, located in Outlook, SK, about 45-minutes South of Saskatoon along the South Saskatchewan River. We see many large and small animals, with the occasional exotic, and we strive to provide optimum care and practice standards to all our patients and clients.
Our practice is well equipped to provide exceptional care (radiography, ultrasound, dental radiographs, in-house laboratory, monitoring equipment including ECG). Our Veterinarian and technologists have a wide array of interests and talents such as clinical pathology, feline medicine and large animal medicine. We encourage our employees to pursue their passion as we all work as a team and value each other's skill set.
If you are an upbeat, energetic and motivated person who loves working with all types of animals, you may be a match for us! Our ideal teammate will have excellent communication skills, ability to problem solve, multitask, offer assistance with animal restraint when needed and pay close attention to detail. A strong commitment to client service and the ability to work in a fast paced environment, both independently and as a team are critical. We offer competitive wages, and a generous benefits package (health/dental insurance, membership fees, CE and clothing allowance).
