Job Description
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.

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.

Helping ensure exceptional customer service is consistently delivered
This is a role where strong organisation, attention to detail, and relationship-building skills are essential.
