JOB TITLE: Dental Assistant Instructor 

Vandelay Education is seeking dynamic dental assistants with the passion, experience, and drive to train the next generation. Positions are PART-TIME with classes held on SATURDAYS from 7:30AM TO 6PM.

***PLEASE NOTE: This position is at a brand new campus located in Bellingham, WA. The campus is expected to open in Spring of 2019.

• An industry-recognized dental certification (CDA, EDDA, etc.)

OUR PROGRAM:

Our intense, 12-week program is designed to provide accessible, hands-on education to students from all walks of life. Classes take place directly in a dental office rather than in a traditional classroom -- allowing students to learn in the very same environment they will eventually work in.

PRIMARY DUTIES:

• Prepare for each class by reviewing the curriculum, lab stations, and Powerpoint presentations provided.

• Demonstrate dental skills/procedures and assist students as they practice them hands-on in the lab.
• Evaluate individual/group performance and make any necessary adjustments to meet student learning needs.
• Monitor student attendance and coordinate with our Administrative Office when absences occur.
• Maintain student grades and submit them to our Administrative Office as required.
• Enforce classroom management (i.e. students are expected to be respectful, professional, and well-behaved; office work spaces and common areas are expected to be kept clean) and ensure that safety precautions are adhered to.

SALARY: STARTING AT $23/HOUR

MUST-HAVES:

• Knowledge of the subjects covered in our curriculum, as well as the ability to convey them via lecture and hands-on demonstration.
• Strong communication skills.
• Basic computer skills such as emailing, printing, scanning, Microsoft Office proficiency, troubleshooting, connecting to WiFi, etc.
• A passion for helping others achieve their personal goals.

STRONGLY-ENCOURAGED:

• Prior teaching/training experience

  • Salesforce
