Nanaimo, Canada Ladysmith Smiles and Nanaimo Smiles Full time

Job Type: Part-time or Full-time. Standard shifts 8AM to 4PM, with the opportunity to start earlier or end later.

The Nanaimo Smiles and Ladysmith Smiles’ team is on a mission to provide exceptional, accessible dental care in an environment that is safe, respectful and welcoming for each and every individual who walks through the door—all smiles welcome.

**Who we are**:
As caring and dedicated dental professionals, we thrive when we are making a difference and look for ways to help our community both in, and out of the clinic. Step into either of our modern practices and you'll likely hear our team laughing, listening to music and catching up with our fellow team members and wonderful patients. We believe oral health can be fun for those in the chair and those behind it and seek opportunities to help others smile daily.

**What you’ll get by joining our team**:

- Supportive and inclusive work environment that allows your individual personality to shine.
- Competitive salary and benefits package accompanied by an employer who prioritizes work-life balance (and more importantly, want you to do the same). As a practice with many parents on the team, we understand and respect your “other job.”

- Opportunity to work in both a well-established practice and a brand new, state-of-the-art facility with room for growth. As Miley would say, it’s the best of both worlds—help us build something new, while feeling supported by our proven blueprints.
- Access to modern dental technology and equipment. From the iTero 3D scanner to portable x-ray machines, our practices are equipped with all the modern technology (and comforts) to make caring for patients as smooth as possible.
- Professional development opportunities to enhance your skills and knowledge.
- We are located on Vancouver Island—a hard perk to top. Those of you who already live here and have undoubtedly fallen in love with the island lifestyle, we know you get it. But for those looking for an adventure and to relocate, working with us means exploring the exceptional beauty of Vancouver Island in your downtime. With the new high-speed ferry service to downtown Vancouver, there’s never been more convenient access to working on the island.

**Who you are**:
You are a skilled and dedicated Certified Dental Assistants (CDA) excited to put patient outcome and experience first at a state-of-the-art dental facility.
