Permanent Dental Assistant Job in San Diego, CA

Ready to Love Where You Work? Join Our I-Ortho Family! 🦷✨
Are you a high-energy, "born for hospitality" person who loves to make people smile? Our well-established, vibrant private practice is looking for a very special Orthodontic Assistant to join our close-knit team.
We aren’t just a dental office; we’re a family. We’re currently saying a bittersweet goodbye to one of our long-time assistants who is moving and we’re looking for someone amazing to step into their shoes.
Why You’ll Love It Here:
- The Schedule of Your Dreams: Work 4 days a week and enjoy a guaranteed 3-day weekend every single week.
- The "Admin Breather": Of your 4 work days, one is a light admin day—giving you a chance to catch your breath and focus on the details without the fast-paced clinical rush.
- A Culture of Joy: We love to laugh, we value compassion, and we treat our patients (and each other!) like family.
- No Experience? No Problem: If you have the right personality, a drive to learn, and a fast-paced work ethic, we will train you!
The Perks (Yes, They’re Amazing!):
We take care of our own. Our benefits package is designed to support your life and your future:
- Pay: $25 - $34.00 per hour
- Financial Security: 401(k) + matching & Profit Sharing
- Health & Wellness: Health insurance
- Growth: Paid training, tuition reimbursement, and professional development assistance.
- The Little Extras: Frequent staff lunches, uniform allowance, employee discounts, and plenty of PTO and sick time.
Who We’re Looking For:
We are holding out for a "people person" who is outgoing, confident, and genuinely upbeat.
- Personality First: You should be someone who loves making others feel special and isn’t afraid to show your personality.
- Reliability is Key: We are a loyal group and we’re looking for a long-term partner.
- The "2-Year Rule": We value stability. Please only apply if you have a proven track record of staying with the same employer for at least 2 years. We are looking for a "forever" friend!
How to Apply (Don’t skip these!):
To be considered, please provide the following:
- Your Resume: Please include specific months and years for your past employers (remember, we are looking for those 2+ year tenures!).
- Desired Hourly Pay.
- Your Commute: Tell us the city and zip code you’ll be traveling from. Please GPS our office first to ensure the drive is one you’re happy to make long-term!
- Any Scheduling Conflicts
If you’re a fast-learner who wants to work in a happy, supportive environment where you can truly be yourself, we can’t wait to meet you!
