Job description

Redefine Your Role in Dental Care

Looking for a position where your clinical skills make a real difference—without the pressure to upsell or meet daily quotas? Join our dedicated team as a Dental Hygienist at the Post-Dalby Unit, where you'll focus solely on medically necessary care and patient education for an underserved population. In this rewarding correctional healthcare setting, you'll experience a lower daily patient volume, allowing you to provide thorough, quality care without the rush. Enjoy the stability of a consistent schedule with firm start and end times—no evenings, weekends, or unexpected overtime. Working in a secure, well-equipped clinical environment under the supervision of a licensed dentist, you'll deliver preventive services that prioritize health, respect, and dignity.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Meaningful Impact: You'll deliver vital oral healthcare to an underserved population, educating patients, and helping to improve their long-term health while restoring dignity and wellness through compassionate care.


• Professional Growth: Work in a dynamic clinical environment with a diverse caseload. Gain hands-on experience in a wide range of clinical skills while expanding your knowledge of dentistry and the correctional healthcare system.


• Team-Based Culture: You'll join a supportive team of dentists and dental assistants who value collaboration, ethical practice, and professional excellence.


• Structured & Supportive Environment: With set schedules and low client no-show rates, you'll be able to focus on what matters—delivering high-quality care.


• Job Stability & Benefits: Enjoy consistent hours, competitive pay, retirement options, generous leave policies, and access to training and certification programs.
