Client Care Advisor Halesowen, England
Job description
We are looking for an enthusiastic and proactive individual to join our growing, friendly team as Client Care Advisor. If you enjoy providing a great client experience and working as part of a team, we have just the opportunity for you.
We are a busy 4 vet practice who are supported by 4 RVN's and 1 SVN and 2 VCA's.
You will be joining our existing team of 4 Client Care Advisors. Our Client Care Advisors are part of the BVRA and there is opportunity to expand your knowledge with suitable courses to help in your role. We are a dynamic practice with surgery certificate holders amongst our vets and so we aim to offer a very high standard of care for our patients across a wide range of cases.
About you:
Your focus will be to provide an exceptional service to our clients and help give the best care possible to their pets - providing a link between clients and the clinical team. Your ability to build strong relationships with our clients, their pets and the practice team will be critical to your success.
Your great client service during a client’s visit will make sure that their absolute satisfaction is given, and that the client leaves knowing that they have received exceptional service and look forward to their next visit.
You will greet each client and offer support, guidance and expertise, managing payments and future bookings confidently. Coordinating the smooth running of the day-to-day routines of the practice will be done using our online booking system, along with other administrative tasks, so computer literacy is a must.
You are the smiling, welcoming face that greets our clients and their pets when they arrive at the practice and the voice at the end of the phone when our clients ring. You are able to provide guidance by keeping yourself fully up-to-speed with the practice services and any additional services available. You are able to remain calm in any situation, attentive and always focus on the clients’ needs.
You will bring enthusiasm and drive to your role. Your passion for providing an excellent client experience is matched with your love of pets.
You can adapt to any situation, from comforting a client who has had some bad news about their pet to sharing in the joy of a family's new addition first visit to the vet.
Along with your fellow colleagues, you create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere in the practice.
In short, you like to be busy, enjoy helping people and their pets and always endeavour to make a difference.
