• Educate patients on post-treatment care and oral hygiene instructions.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and fully stocked clinical environment.
• Support the team with smooth patient flow and day-to-day clinic operations.

Schedule

This is a rotating position with shifts spanning late morning through evening on weekdays and daytime hours on weekends. Both full-time and part-time schedules are available, with shifts distributed across the week including weekends. Exact days will be confirmed at the time of offer based on availability and clinic needs.

Candidates must be available for evening shifts and at least one weekend day.
