Job description

Do you like a puzzle with real challengesand a new one every morning? Elite Dental Care is hiring a Doctor Scheduler for our Jackson office — building and protecting the doctor's day, placing emergencies without wrecking the column, and thinking several moves ahead.

What you will do:

• Build and protect the doctor's schedule against daily production goals
• Sequence treatment across multiple visits so patients finish what they start
• Place emergency patients and fill same-day openings without unravelling the day
• Fill tomorrow before today ends — no column left to chance
• Track daily and monthly production against goal, and say so when it is off

What we are looking for:

• Ownership Mentality:The doctor's day is yours. A gap at two o'clock is yours to fill and a broken column is yours to rebuild — you do not report a problem you could have solved.
• Driven by the Goal:You know where the day stands against target without being asked, and a day that finishes short bothers you enough to change how tomorrow is built.
• Thinks Ahead:You see the knock-on effect of a change three appointments later, and you plan for it rather than discover it.
• Accuracy:Right length, right sequence, right prerequisites. A case booked wrong costs everyone a day.
• Composure Under Pressure:Emergencies, cancellations and a doctor running behind, handled without it showing to the patient.
• Communication:Clear with patients about what is possible, and straight with the clinical team about what is not.
• Eligibility:High school diploma or GED, and legally authorized to work in the United States.

Nice to have:

• Block or template scheduling experience tied to production targets
• Experience managing multiple doctor columns
• Experience with Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental

The Elite Promise

• Clear Direction.Ambiguity slows down patient care. You will have a clear roadmap of what is expected and what good looks like, so you move through your day with confidence rather than guesswork.
• Unrivaled Support.Modern technology — digital radiography, cone beam 3D imaging, intraoral cameras and Dentrix — a real sedation program that lets us treat patients other practices turn away, and a team that covers for each other rather than leaving you on an island.
• W-2 Security and Peace of Mind.A direct W-2 position, not a 1099 contract. Health insurance for team members working more than thirty hours a week, dental benefits after sixty days, paid holidays and paid time off for eligible team members.
• Active Feedback.Your doctor and team leader tell you how it is going as it happens rather than saving it up, with formal evaluations and performance reviews on top. Nothing should land as a surprise.
• Genuine Appreciation.Recognition that names what you actually did, from the people who watched you do it.
• A Path to Advancement.We promote from within across our West Tennessee offices. Cross-training, expanded functions and lead roles are a path here, not a favor.

Pay is competitive, based on experience, skills, and location.
