Virtual Veterinary Care Coordinator (U.S. Hours)

Salary: $900 – $1,400 per month, USD-linked, based on experience
Location: Remote — work from anywhere in South Africa
Hours: 3pm – 11pm SAST or 6pm – 2am SAST (U.S. business hours) — your mornings are completely free. No weekends.
Requirement: 2+ years working in a veterinary practice. Applications without veterinary practice experience are automatically rejected.

The Role

You'll be the dedicated remote front-desk for one U.S. veterinary clinic — their care coordinator, their client's first voice, part of their team every day. This is real veterinary work, done from home, paid in USD salary.

No commute — for most clinic staff, that's R800 – R1,500/month straight back into your pocket, on top of the salary.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Client Communication: Answer and initiate calls, texts, chats, and emails from pet parents with empathy and clarity.
  • Appointment Scheduling: Book, reschedule, and confirm visits following your clinic's exact workflow.
  • Care Navigation: Help pet parents understand what comes next — triage inquiries, explain services, coordinate follow-ups.
  • Estimates & Treatment Plans: Build estimates in partnership with the veterinary team.
  • Records: Keep medical records, notes, and workflows tight and up to date.
  • Protocol Adherence: Follow your clinic's systems, preferences, and communication tone exactly.

Who We're Looking For

  • Veterinary experience: 2+ years in a veterinary clinic or hospital — front desk, reception, practice administration, or client care.
  • Spoken English: You'll be on live calls with American pet owners all day. Clear, confident spoken English is essential — and it's the first thing we assess.
  • Tech-comfortable: You can juggle practice management software, VoIP tools, and client comms platforms, and learn new systems fast.
  • Detail-oriented: Your notes and records don't miss things.
  • Independent: You work from home, own your outcomes, and communicate proactively.
  • Remote-ready: Stable high-speed internet and reliable power backup.
