Vacant job

Do you want to improve oral health in Sweden, work preventively, and increase the quality of life for the population? Then you've come to the right place!

Our offer

We are an organization focused on the future, sustainability, and equal oral health. We conduct development work and reshape our work methods to meet the future demands of dental care, while also providing ourselves with a sustainable work environment and a profession where we can grow throughout our lives.

We have around twenty general dental clinics with varying care profiles and provide county-wide specialist dental care in the specialties of bite physiology, endodontics, oral prosthetics, orofacial medicine, orthodontics, periodontology, and pedodontics. We actively engage in research in collaboration with dental faculties and Linköping University, offer specialist training programs, and work on dental quality development.

Through close collaboration within and between specialist and general dental care, we support and learn from each other in a stimulating and developing work environment. If you want to go far, we are behind you.

Job description

You perform all tasks within a dental hygienist's area of expertise. Here, you will meet a varied patient clientele where you can fully utilize and develop your skills. In clinical work, you will treat both children and adults. For those with experience, supervision of students and new colleagues is also part of the role.

Workgroup

We are a medium-sized general dental clinic in Hageby with around 25 employees. Here, dentists, dental assistants, and dental hygienists work together. The different professional categories have mixed tasks that include both independent work and teamwork, providing a varied job with great development opportunities. We have a strong interest and many years of experience in dental care, with a focus on children. The Folktandvården emergency clinic is also operated here, staffed by all clinics in the county. We collaborate closely with Folktandvården Vikbolandet and have a common manager, which provides great opportunities for knowledge and experience exchange. Here, you have the opportunity to develop your skills and work to constantly improve oral health. Welcome to be part of the workgroup in a pleasant workplace with dedicated colleagues.

About you

We are looking for a licensed dental hygienist. You have good computer skills, and since you work in constant dialogue with patients, colleagues, and other partners, it is important that you have good Swedish language skills in both speech and writing.

We welcome both experienced dental hygienists and those who are, or soon will be, newly graduated to apply to us. If you are new to the profession, we offer supervision as part of our induction program. For all our new employees, we offer a one-year induction program together with other new employees in the organization.

We believe that, like us, you see dental quality as the basis of your work, that you meet all people with understanding, respect, and care, and that you place high value on good service. We want you to have good pedagogical skills and be able to work independently while also having good teamwork skills. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
