Mō tātou Ratonga | About our Service


Caring for the oral health of children is incredibly important for their long term health and wellbeing and is a deeply rewarding experience to those providing care.

Waikato Te Whatu Ora Health NZ - Community Oral Health team strives to be a leader in preventive care and eliminate health inequalities in our community.

We empower whānau and include them as part of our team approach to care.

Some highlights of our clinical environment include:

  • access to secondary care services for children
- an OPG X Ray machine for oral health therapist use in Hamilton
- modern ergonomic equipment including mobiles and multi chair facilities
- opportunities to participate in innovative oral health promotion and prevention programmes

Mōu | About you


You will need to be flexible, organised, self-motivated and demonstrate that you can work effectively with whanau to improve oral health.

You will be a team player who understands the importance of partnering with dental assistants and who values support, friendship, and development.

You will have an appreciation of the Te Whatu Ora - Health NZ values and culture that form our successful oral health team.


Our staff are fully trained, mentored, and are encouraged to attain continued professional development (as we are verified by the Dental Council to provide CPD).

We also advocate for the sharing of cultural experiences, including speaking Te Reo Māori to whānau when appropriate.

If you have a current annual practising certificate, broad/dual scopes of practice, and a full driver's licence, we'd encourage you to apply.
