Description
Requirements

  • You are registered and hold a valid practising licence with the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC).
  • You have at least 2 years of post-internship experience in a clinical dental setting.
  • You communicate clearly with patients and colleagues — you know how to put people at ease.
  • You stay organised under pressure and manage your time without needing hand-holding.
  • You are committed to continuous learning and take patient safety personally.
  • You thrive in a team environment and are willing to contribute beyond just your chair.


Responsibilities
  • Examine patients, diagnose common oral conditions, and deliver preventive and curative care.

  • Collaborate with the dentist and broader care team to ensure oral health is part of the bigger patient picture.
  • Maintain accurate, confidential patient records and uphold the clinical standards our patients trust us for.
  • Manage your supplies and equipment — we keep clinics well-stocked so you can focus on care.
