Experienced Veterinary Receptionist: Help Us Open Something Great!

Redmond Veterinary | Downtown Redmond, WA | Starting at $23/hour

We're opening November 17, 2026, and we're looking for an experienced Veterinary Receptionist to join our founding team!

Redmond Veterinary is a brand-new hospital in the heart of downtown Redmond, WA, and part of the Cara Veterinary network of neighborhood veterinary practices.

We're looking for someone with at least one year of experience working in a veterinary hospital who knows that being a great Veterinary Receptionist means so much more than answering phones and scheduling appointments.

You're the first voice clients hear when they call. The first face they see when they walk through our doors. The person who helps a nervous pet parent feel reassured, keeps a busy front desk running smoothly, and makes every client and patient feel welcome.

And at Redmond Veterinary, you'll have the opportunity to help create that experience from day one.

As a founding Team Member, you'll play an important role in establishing our hospital's culture, building relationships with our clients, and setting the standard for what exceptional veterinary care looks and feels like.

You'll also have the support, resources, and growth opportunities of an established veterinary network behind you.

Why Join Our Opening Team?

Here's what makes this opportunity different:

• Be part of the founding team. Help establish the culture, workflows, and client experience at a brand-new hospital.
• Make a lasting first impression. Be the welcoming face and trusted voice that clients associate with Redmond Veterinary.
• Bring your experience to the table. Use what you've learned working in veterinary medicine to help us create an exceptional client experience.
• Grow with us. Enjoy clear expectations, regular feedback, professional development, and opportunities for advancement.
• Have the support of Cara Veterinary. Experience the excitement of a new hospital with the resources and support of an established veterinary network.
