Job Description
Job Summary
We are seeking a dynamic and compassionate RDA to join our small tight knit team. Operating in a restored early 1900s heritage house in Cochrane, AB we are looking for someone who can exemplify our patient care based values, treating everyone who walks through the door like a welcomed guest in our home. Big Hill Dental is small by design, with 3 chairs and a porch that is perfect for your morning coffee. Built for the Cochrane community - one chair, one family, one happy smile at a time.
This position has 32 hours guaranteed per week, and will remain posted until the right candidate is found.
What You’ll Be Doing
Assist chairside through exams, restorations, hygiene support, and minor surgical procedures.
Set up and tear down operatories, and keep instrument sterilization running smoothly and properly.
Take radiographs, scans, and intraoral photos within your scope of practice.
Prepare and place instruments and materials keeping charting accurate as you go.
Talk patients through what’s happening next, ensuring nothing feels like a surprise.
Help nervous patients settle - blankets, breaks, a slower pace, whatever it takes.
Keep inventory stocked and flag what we’re running low on before it causes a problem.
Pitch in at the front when the phones get busy - we all wear a few hats here.
What We’re Looking For
Active registration in good standing with the College of Alberta Dental Assistants (CADA).
Comfortable assisting chairside with restorative, hygiene, and minor surgical procedures.
Current radiography certification and solid sterilization habits.
Genuine warmth and care for patients - especially the anxious ones.
Dependable, tidy, and happy to work as an integral part of a very small team.
Dental Software experience is an asset (we will train you on ours either way)
Pay: $30.00-$37.00 per hour
Expected hours: 32.0 per week
Benefits:
Dental care
On-site parking
Work Location: In person
