Job description

Clinical Lead | Lead the Team. | Elevate the Experience. | Make Dentistry Fun.

Are you the person your clinical team already turns to when they need help?

The one who notices when something needs to be done, jumps in without being asked, keeps the day moving, and knows how to bring out the best in people around you?

You might be ready to become our next Clinical Lead.

We are looking for an experienced dental professional who loves patient care, but is also ready to take the next step into leadership. As a Clinical Lead, you'll work alongside our providers while leading and supporting the clinical team to create an environment that is safe, organized, efficient, and fun for our patients and families.

This isn't a position where you lead from the side lines. You'll be right there with your team.

What You Will Do

As our Clinical Lead, you will be the connection between our providers, clinical team, and practice leadership. You'll help make sure the clinical side of the practice runs smoothly while creating an environment where your team can do their best work.

• Lead, coach, and develop the clinical team, including Dental Assistants and other team members.
• Jump in and assist chairside when your team or providers need you.
• Lead clinical team meetings and help keep everyone informed, connected, and moving in the same direction.
• Maintain a safe and compliant clinical environment.
• Address patient and parent concerns with professionalism, compassion, and a solutions-focused mindset.
• Partner with leadership on hiring, onboarding, and training clinical team members.
• Look for opportunities to make our clinical operations better, simpler, safer, and more efficient.

Who We Are Looking For

You don't have to know everything on Day 1. But you do need to be someone others can count on.

You will be successful in this role if you:

• Have strong Dental Assistant/Clinical experience.
• Understand dental terminology, clinical workflows, sterilization, and infection-control standards.
• Have experience working with children and know how to communicate in a way that helps them feel safe and comfortable.
• Are flexible and willing to adjust when patient care or staffing needs change.

CPR certification required. N2O certification preferred. Previous leadership experience is a plus.
