Details 

This position is to start ASAP.
Full time hours would be Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri from 7:15 am to 4:15 pm and Tuesdays 10:45 am to 6:45 pm.

The Receptionist is one of the most important positions in any organization. They are
responsible for the patient’s first impression. They help set the mood within the clinic and are vital to
maintaining efficient patient flow and preparing patient records. Our receptionist will be a team
player and will be expected to greet patients personally, professionally and handle all telephone calls
and mail requirements.

The person we’re looking for will not consider a phone call an interruption to their busy day…but
rather a source of potential business. When the telephone rings they don’t think, "What do they want
now?" but rather think "I wonder what awesome opportunity awaits me at the other end of the line?".
Your voice tells our patients that they are the most important thing at that moment. It’s not what you
say, it’s how you say it. And it’s always with a smile. You come to work ready with a 10 out of 10
attitude, uplifting other’s around you
