Centre for Animal Referral & Emergency, Collingwood, Inner Melbourne, VIC (posted 23rd January) Client Services Manager
- Permanent full-time basis, remuneration range $75,000 to $85,000.
- An industry leading team based in the heart of Melbourne.
- Fully equipped hospital with modern facilities.
The Centre for Animal Referral & Emergency (CARE) is currently recruiting for an enthusiastic and conscientious Client Services Manager (CSM) to support the organisation in delivering a consistently exceptional customer service experience to our valued clients and referring veterinarians.
About CARE
CARE is a busy, multi-specialist veterinary hospital located in Collingwood, on the fringe of the Melbourne CBD. It evolved from an ardent intention to provide the highest standards of patient care in a cooperative and cohesive, team-oriented environment that respects, supports and encourages the personal balance and professional development of its staff. This focus has fostered the development of excellent relationships within our staff, and with our referring veterinarians and clients. The hospital is staffed by an outstanding team of emergency veterinarians and nurses, working alongside specialists in internal medicine and surgery.
About the Role
The Client Services Manager (CSM) is a mid-level supervisory role within the organisation, overseeing our frontline customer service operations. The role is primarily focussed on coordinating and delivering an exceptional customer service experience to external stakeholders at all touchpoints across CARE, with a number of ancillary duties that support the work of our organisation.
Reporting to the General Manager, and working closely with the Nursing Manager, typical tasks and responsibilities include:
- Rostering and day-to-day management and support of the reception and its staff.
- End-to-end management of inbound referral appointment requests, including scheduling, financial estimates, procuring patient histories, and facilitating client and interdepartmental communication.
- Timely and diligent curation of all email communications in the main hospital mailbox.
- Proactive management of client expectations and feedback, resolving and/or escalating issues as appropriate.
- Coordinating extramural placements of students within the hospital.
- Ensuring public-facing areas of the hospital are maintained to an impeccable standard.
- Pursue continuous improvement by monitoring receptionist performance and providing ongoing feedback and training.
- Monitoring and regular reporting of customer service trends, metrics, issues.
- Processing insurance documentation, and ad-hoc administrative tasks.
- Sundry duties as required from time to time to support
The successful candidate will have proven customer service abilities, excellent written and verbal communication skills, a good eye for detail and conflict resolution, and previous experience working in the veterinary profession.
This role would suit an enthusiastic and mature current/former veterinary nurse looking to transition to an administrative role while maintaining close ties with the industry.
This is a permanent full-time (38hrs/week) position. The typical work pattern of the Client Services Manager is Monday to Friday, during regular business hours, however the CSM remains on-call to reception staff who require supervisor support and/or are unable to attend work. In these circumstances, this will require coordination of a substitute receptionist, or – on rare occasions when a substitute staff member cannot be coordinated – in person attendance to provide (paid) cover. (Note: Receptionists work daytimes, and weekday evenings only. There are no night shifts, or weekend evening shifts.)
Life at CARE
The successful candidate will enjoy:
- Competitive remuneration ($75,000 to $85,000) commensurate with skills and experience.
- Membership of a friendly, supportive, and highly productive team of nurses and veterinarians.
- A workplace that is focused on employee wellbeing, professional satisfaction, and sustainability.
- Access to our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), providing free and confidential counselling on issues of work, money, family, health, and everything in between.
- Great staff amenities which include complimentary snacks, beverages, espresso coffee, and fresh fruit delivered weekly.
- Generous discounts on a range of hospital products and services.
- An easy commute to work, owing to our close proximity to multimodal public transport and major arterial freeways. Secure off-street staff car parking is available.
- A centrally located workplace in one of Melbourne's most exciting lifestyle precincts.

Applications and enquiries should be directed to Guy Yates, via email (careers@carevet.com.au) or phone (03 9417 6417).

Townsville Veterinary Clinic, Aitkenvale Townsville QLD (posted 12th December)
VETERINARY RECEPTIONIST REQUIRED in sunny North Queensland.
We are looking for a veterinary receptionist who excels in customer service to join our team.
Townsville Veterinary Clinic is a mixed large and small animal practice serving tropical North Queensland for over 40 years. Our team of six veterinarians includes a specialist equine surgeon and experienced mixed and small animal veterinarians. The TVC nursing team rotates through the equine and small animal hospital as well as reception, although we also have dedicated admin staff. TVC also provides equine clinical teaching to final year veterinary students from James Cook University School of Veterinary Science.
There is never a dull moment at the reception desk dealing with a range of small and large animals, from cats and dogs to goats, cows and horses – even the occasional pig. Strong organisational skills and excellent communication are required, with a preference for candidates who have previous veterinary nursing experience and knowledge.
While you must be able to work without direct supervision and be prepared for the curveballs that animals and schedules throw at us, the ability to perform as part of our team and keep the clinic workflow moving smoothly, while looking after our clients, is vital.
The position includes answering telephones, face to face client interactions, OTC sales, scheduling appointments and surgeries in both small animals and large, answering client enquiries, maintaining our database, assisting with marketing promotions – just to name a few. We run Vision VPM as our PMS but if you are not familiar with it, it is easy to learn.
The position is full-time, and we are happy to discuss how those hours are worked, over 4 days/week or 5.
Applicants should submit their emailed resume to the attention of Dr. Louisa Hick at vet@townsvillevetclinic.com.au
