Part-Time Orthodontic Assistant 2-days a week - Mansfield Orthodontics - Mansfield, CT

Orthodontic Dental Assistant – Part-Time (2 Days Per Week) Mansfield Orthodontics | Mansfield, CT We're a small but growing fully digital orthodontic practice with a cozy, comfortable environment that our patients and our team genuinely love. We're looking for an experienced orthodontic chairside assistant to join us! This is a permanent part-time position: Wednesdays and Fridays, plus one Monday per month (usually 8am–5pm). We want to be upfront about that from the start: we're not looking for someone who's settling for part-time, we want someone for whom this schedule is actually the right fit. What you'll be doing: Assisting Dr. Davis chairside including preparing teeth for bracket placement and wire adjustments, prepping and sterilizing instruments, taking photos, scans, and x-rays, educating patients on appliance care and oral hygiene. You will be asked to manage patient records accurately, help keep the clinical flow running smoothly, and ensure supplies are stocked and ready. Who you are: You're mature, reliable, able to multitask, and allergic to drama. You're a team player who takes pride in doing things right and treats every patient interaction like it matters. Prior chairside dental assisting experience is required. Orthodontic-specific experience is a plus but not required, we can train the right person. What we can't train is kindness, a calm presence, and a genuine eagerness to learn. Must be physically able to walk up a flight of stairs. Compensation: $25–$28/hour, based on experience. Start Date: Immediately To apply: Please submit your resume and include a brief note (a few sentences is fine) about why a two-day-per-week schedule is the right fit for your life right now. Applications without this note may not be reviewed: we want to hear from people who actually want this job schedule, not just any job. The days and hours are not flexible, nor are they remote. Benefits: Paid time off Application Question(s): Are you able to work all day Wednesdays and Fridays each week and one Monday a month as well? What chairside dental assisting experience do you have? Do you have X-ray and Infection Control Certifications? Work Location: In person Pay: $25.00 - $27.00 per hour Expected hours: 15.0 – 17.0 per week Benefits: Paid time off Experience: Dental assisting: 2 years (Required) Work Location: In person
