Start a Career in Healthcare: No Medical Experience or MOA Certificate Required

Are you working in retail, hospitality, customer service or a call centre and interested in moving into healthcare?

We are hiring a full-time Front Desk Receptionist for our Southwest Edmonton medical clinic. This is a paid opportunity to learn medical reception and administration while working as part of an experienced clinic team.

You do not need an MOA certificate or previous medical-office experience. We will provide paid, on-the-job training to teach you our clinic procedures, appointment system and electronic medical record software.

• Retail associate or cashier
• Retail supervisor or team lead
• Customer service representative
• Hotel front desk agent
• Server or host

Your customer-service experience is valuable and transferable. If you are dependable, comfortable working with people and eager to learn, we can teach you the medical-office side of the position.

• Dependable, punctual and willing to learn
• Able to work independently and as part of a team
