**Te whiwhinga mahi | The Opportunity**

We are searching for a registered Dental Therapist / Oral Health Therapist to join our rural oral health team working in a mobile dental clinic in the Huntly, North Waikato and surrounding area.

Working in rural locations provides opportunities for developing autonomy and responsibility. It’s also an opportunity to follow up on your own patient care. Our region offers a diverse population and patient mix. You are also supported by our main office - you aren’t just a number

Our aim is to be pro-active instead of reactive while responding to the needs of our population and we encourage creativity and innovation across our clinical practices. We are supported by a dedicated call centre which allows for less administrative work for therapists. Four-handed dentistry is standard practice for us.

**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

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.
