SUMMARY:
This is a great opportunity for someone who is looking for set hours M-F and stability and foundation in their work-life balance. However, this is a small business environment, different from the large corporations, that provides many positives in a lot of ways, but is also very different than working for the medical giants in the surrounding area. An understanding of the difference is important before applying and that mostly includes less flexibility with missing days. There's very few backups to your role responsibilities.
The right fit for the position will be accountable, reliable, responsible, organized, detail-oriented, and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment with high expectations. If you have experience in a medical or dental office setting and possess the necessary skills, you're a potential candidate. If you DO NOT have medical setting experience, we will NOT consider you for this role.
This is a very rewarding position with opportunity for advancement as we expand the practice. Please apply with your updated resume highlighting your relevant experience.
