Permanent Dental Hygienist Job in St. Louis, MO
We are currently looking for a dental hygienist to join our team at Kirkwood Dental Care! We are searching for a team member who would like to work Tuesdays and Wednesdays 9am-4pm. The days and hours are flexible, but currently we have a full schedule on Tuesday and Wednesday to start immediately. This could also expand an additional day for someone looking to work more hours. The hours can be adjusted as well for those applicants that have children and need to start later or end their day earlier. We are a small general family dental office located in Kirkwood. We are not a corporate office and pride ourselves in taking time to treat our patients as well as getting to know them. The office is small but provides high quality dental care and has a family feel. Our ideal fit would be motivated, energetic, have a great work ethic, and definitely be a team player.
