Receptionist/First Impressions (Temporary Maternity Leave)

Wage: Dependent upon education and experience; starts at $14 with no experience / postsecondary education
 
Hours: Full time hours would be Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 7:15 am to 4:15 pm and Tuesdays 10:30 am to 6:30 pm. (hours may change slightly. This position will cover a maternity leave from date of hire to March 2020.)

Duties: 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
