Rothesay Bay, North Shore, Auckland
Permanent part-time, 2 to 3 days a week | From 40% commission
We're the dentists chickens aren't scared of. For 20 years our Remuera practice, Dentistry for Chickens, has been built around one idea: the best dentistry builds confidence, not fear.
We're bringing Dentistry for Chickens to an established practice in Rothesay Bay on the North Shore. The practice has a strong reputation for quality hygiene and periodontal care, and a loyal base of patients who come back regularly for it. We're looking for an oral health therapist or dental hygienist to continue that care, with a busy book on your days from day one.
