Vacant job

Do you want to be part of an engaged and professional team, and make a difference for every patient – every day? With us, you will use your skills to the fullest in a dynamic environment characterized by respect, job satisfaction, and forward momentum. Together, we realize our vision: "Together – for the whole family's oral health".

Job Responsibilities

We offer a varied job as a dental hygienist/assistant, including assisting, sterilization, and reception duties. Independent work with prophylaxis for child and adolescent patients is also part of the role.

In your role, you will meet patients of all ages, so it is important that you thrive on variety where no two days are alike. A clear patient focus, good treatment, and high quality should permeate the experience with us. In your work, you take considerable personal responsibility but are also part of the clinic's entire team of dental hygienists, dentists, and dental assistants. Together, we help our patients with their oral health and create quality of life.

About the Workplace

At Folktandvården Köping, we are passionate about taking care of both our patients and our staff in the best possible way. Here, you will meet an engaged and considerate team that values a warm, family-like, and inclusive work environment. We actively work to ensure a high level of trust, with a culture where everyone feels welcome, seen, and appreciated.

Many describe that there is something special in the walls here – a unique feeling that both employees and patients notice. It is an atmosphere where joy, community, and care are at the center, and where our patients should feel comfortable and safe with us.

Köping as a city is also a fantastic place. Here you have proximity to beautiful nature, Lake Mälaren, and a rich cultural and association life.

Currently, 10 dentists, 5 dental hygienists, and 13 dental assistants work here. In modern and welcoming premises, we have jointly created conditions for teamwork beyond the ordinary. We are incredibly proud that so many child, adolescent, and adult patients from near and far have chosen us. Now, we hope that you, as a dental assistant/hygienist, want to become another part of our team.

Good performance presupposes that you enjoy and feel well at work; therefore, we offer you among other things the following benefits:

• Individually designed introduction program to help you develop and become secure and confident in your professional role
• Opportunities for competence development through, for example, internal training
• Free training at Region Västmanland's fully equipped gym
• Wellness allowance, 3000 SEK/year
