Description
Western Australian Veterinary Emergency and Specialty (WAVES) is currently looking for a Full Time Surgery Administration Assistant to join our team.
WAVES opened in Success, WA in May 2013 and is a continually growing specialty veterinary hospital. The surgery department is one of seven services currently operating within the hospital.
What is the role of a Surgery Administration Assistant? You will be required to provide a quality point of contact for all Surgery department enquiries including those from referring veterinarians and patient’s owners. You will be required to support our surgical team on the floor with administrative needs such as co-ordinating all surgical bookings, ensuring necessary documents such as consent forms are scanned and emailed when required, organising surgery discharge times and sorting insurance paperwork. You will also help manage surgery’s stock control.
You must be able to work efficiently and harmoniously in a team environment with our veterinarians and other team members as well as being able to work independently when required. You must up hold the highest standards in patient care and communication that WAVES prides itself upon. You must show initiative and be able to spot things that require doing and get them done. As a team member you must also be there to support and encourage the whole team, especially junior nurses and veterinarians. You must be able to keep your work area tidy, occasionally assist the hospital reception team and be able to smooth the bumps in the day. Oh, and if you have time, you can have a coffee too!
You must be a qualified veterinary nurse or veterinarian.
In return for your hard work and dedication, WAVES will:
- Give you the training you need
- Encourage and support your further education in the future
- Provide a healthy and happy work environment and deal with any negative workplace behaviour so that you enjoy working here with us
- Genuinely care, support and value you as a member of the WAVES family
- Provide you with a challenging and satisfying career.
Surgery administration is not for everyone. To take on this job you need emotional resilience, staying power, a belief that miracles are possible (they are!) and a healthy dose of pragmatism. However the rewards can be amazing! You will love the Surgery team, we are proud of them all, and you will get a real buzz from working with us.
We take recruitment very seriously because we know it is important to get the right people to enhance our team but that it is also important that you are going to like working with us. We want to build a team of people that will want to stay for years and be a part of the WAVES family, growing with us.
