What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dental Assistant/Sterilization Technician position at Wallingford Dental Care?
Wallingford Dental Care is looking for a fun, hardworking, team player with a great attitude to join our office as a sterilization technician/ dental assistant. Our office has an established patient base in the Wallingford neighborhood north of Seattle for the last 30 years. Over the past year and half we have been growing due to word-of-mouth and our great customer reviews. Check us out on Google!
We have a lead assistant who can help train our new hire in sterilization and chairside assisting as well as some administrative cross training to help with front desk responsibilities. Our preference is a candidate with some dental experience, but we are willing to train someone with the right attitude and willingness to learn. If you have no previous dental assisting experience, please make sure to let us know why you are interested in entering the dental field.
Familiarity with Dentrix is a plus but not required. Duties will include chairside assisting, helping run sterilization, turnover rooms when available, stocking operatories, running laundry and other routine maintenance tasks that are critical to keeping patient care running smoothly and safely.
Our office mostly does routine restorative dental work with a growing amount of Invisalign as well.
Our office sees patients Mondays from 10-6pm and Tues-Thurs from 7am-3pm. Our staff have elected to work straight through without a lunch break in order to finish earlier, but we are happy to make accommodations if desired.
After initial 90-day trial period, benefits include $275/mo coverage towards our group health insurance plans, 6 paid holidays per year and accrued paid time-off.
We’d love to hear from you and please include your resume with your contact information!
