Client Care Coordinator (Part-Time or Full-Time) | Greencross Vets Aitkenvale | Townsville, QLD

When a Practice Manager has been with a clinic for 14 years and many team members have been there for over a decade, you know you're looking at something special.

Greencross Vets Aitkenvale is seeking an experienced Client Care Coordinator to join our friendly, long-standing team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with previous experience in the veterinary industry who loves building relationships with clients, thrives in a busy environment, and enjoys being the person who keeps everything running smoothly at the front of the clinic.

We are open to both part-time (3 days per week) and full-time applicants, and we're looking for someone who can confidently manage reception operations, coordinate appointments and client communication, and provide outstanding customer service to our clients and patients.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

At Greencross Aitkenvale, you'll be joining something special.

Team stability here is rare. Our Practice Manager has been with the clinic for 14 years, and many of our nursing team have been part of the practice for over a decade.

Our culture is built on:

• Collaboration and teamwork
• Open communication
• High standards of patient and client care
• Supporting one another through busy days
• Having fun while doing meaningful work

Being located close to James Cook University, we benefit from a vibrant veterinary community and strong local connections. As part of the wider Greencross Townsville network, you'll also be connected to multiple Greencross clinics across the region, providing additional support and opportunities to collaborate.
