Chiropractic Assistant / Front Desk Coordinator – 4-Day Workweek
Family Tree Chiropractic | Park Ridge, IL
$20–$23/hour | Paid for 40 Hours/Week | 4-Day Workweek | Fridays Off | Benefits + Bonuses
Are you the kind of person who naturally makes people feel welcome?

Do you smile often, love connecting with people, and genuinely enjoy helping others?

Are you organized, dependable, and able to keep your cool when there are several things happening at once?

You might be exactly who we're looking for.

Family Tree Chiropractic is looking for an energetic, personable, and self-motivated Chiropractic Assistant / Front Desk Coordinator to join our team.

We are a busy, established, family-focused chiropractic office in Park Ridge caring for patients of all ages—from newborn babies and children to pregnant moms, parents, grandparents, and entire families.

Our office is upbeat, relationship-driven, and fast-paced. We're looking for someone who brings warmth and positive energy to the office while also being highly organized, dependable, and capable of keeping things moving.

This is not a position where you simply sit behind a front desk.

You will be one of the first people our patients see, an important part of keeping our day running smoothly, and a major part of the experience our families have every time they walk through our doors.

What You'll Do
As a Chiropractic Assistant, you'll help create an exceptional patient experience while keeping our office organized and running efficiently.

Your responsibilities will include:
Warmly greeting patients and families
Answering phones, texts, and patient questions professionally and enthusiastically
Scheduling and managing patient appointments
Helping patients stay on track with their recommended care schedules
Managing patient flow throughout the office
Collecting payments and assisting with front-office administrative responsibilities
Supporting the doctor with therapies, scans, and other patient-care procedures as trained
Maintaining accurate patient information
Keeping the front office organized, clean, and welcoming
Building genuine relationships with our patients and their families
Anticipating what needs to be done and taking initiative
Working closely with the doctor and other team members to keep the office running smoothly
Occasionally traveling with the team for chiropractic seminars, training, and professional development
You May Be Our Person If You...

Are naturally friendly, upbeat, and personable
Smile easily and genuinely enjoy talking with people
Love helping others and making people feel cared for
Enjoy babies and children and are comfortable interacting with families
Are highly organized and detail-oriented
Can multitask without becoming easily overwhelmed
Thrive in a busy, energetic environment
Communicate confidently and professionally in person, on the phone, and through text
Are self-motivated and notice what needs to be done without always being asked
Are dependable, punctual, and take ownership of your responsibilities
Are comfortable learning technology and new office systems
Are coachable and respond well to feedback
Enjoy working as part of a close-knit team
Are looking for a position where you can stay, grow, and become an important part of the practice
Are willing and able to occasionally travel for seminars and professional development
No Chiropractic Experience? That's Okay.

We can teach you chiropractic, our technology, and our systems.

What we're looking for is much harder to teach: warmth, initiative, reliability, excellent communication, attention to detail, and a genuine desire to take care of people.

Experience in chiropractic, healthcare, dental, physical therapy, hospitality, customer service, or another patient/client-facing position is helpful, but the right personality and work ethic matter more to us than having chiropractic experience.

This Position Probably Isn't for You If...

You prefer minimal interaction with people, dislike being around children, become easily overwhelmed when several things need your attention at once, or are looking for a quiet receptionist position where you can mostly sit behind a desk.

Family Tree has energy.

There may be a baby at the front desk, kids coming in after school, phones ringing, patients checking in and out, appointments needing to be scheduled, and several conversations happening at once.

The right person doesn't just tolerate that environment—they enjoy it.

Schedule
We offer the stability and benefits of full-time employment with a consistent four-day workweek.

Our regular office schedule is:
Monday–Wednesday
8:30 AM–12:30 PM
1:30 PM–6:00 PM*
Thursday
9:00 AM–12:30 PM
1:30 PM–6:00 PM*
Friday: OFF
Our scheduled patient hours end at 6:00 PM; however, team members are expected to remain until the final patient has completed their visit and closing responsibilities are finished. Most days end close to the scheduled time, but occasional later evenings should be expected.

Our full-time team members are paid for 40 hours per week despite our regular office schedule being approximately 33.5 hours.

Occasional travel for chiropractic seminars and professional development is required and may include overnight or weekend travel.

Compensation & Benefits
$20–$23/hour, based on experience
Benefits include:
40 hours of pay per week with a regular 4-day workweek
Fridays off
401(k) with up to 4% employer match
Paid time off
Wellness bonus
Performance-based bonuses
No regular weekends
We believe people do their best work when they have the opportunity to build a great life outside of work, too. This position provides the consistency and benefits of full-time employment while maintaining a four-day workweek.
