At Hillside Family Dental Associates in Dartmouth, we are seeking an outstanding Dental Assistant to join our busy, privately owned practice.

For this specific role, we are looking for a Float and Sterilization Dental Assistant to support our entire practice. If you are a warm, collaborative professional who enjoys working closely with the whole team and keeping our clinical workflow running seamlessly, you will fit right in! We are looking to welcome our newest team member by November 16, 2026.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• A Positive Culture: We operate on mutual respect, clear communication, and a strong, team-first mindset.
• A Fresh New Space: You are joining us at a wonderful time! We are planning a beautiful office renovation to modernize our practice, which means you will get to work in a refreshed environment equipped with updated systems and brand-new technology designed to make your day smoother.
• A Diverse, Practice-Wide Impact: As a Float and Sterilization Assistant, your day will be dynamic. You will collaborate across the entire office, managing vital sterilization protocols, prepping operatories, and stepping in to support various team members and dentists whenever needed.
• Stability & Flow: A highly established, growing practice ensures a steady schedule and strong chairside experience from day one.

Comprehensive Compensation & Benefits

We believe in rewarding our team with a highly competitive package:

• Financial: Excellent compensation and a supportive RRSP matching program.
• Time Off: 4 weeks of paid vacation, paid sick/personal time, paid stats, and additional holiday closures.
• Health & Wellness: Comprehensive health benefits, free staff dentistry, and a family dental allowance.
• Professional Support: Paid Nova Scotia licensing fees, continuing education (CE) support, annual CPR training, and a uniform allowance.
• Team Perks: Regular team outings to connect outside the office.

The Schedule (No Weekends!)

Our office hours are:

• Monday to Thursday: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
• Individual schedules for this position will be determined based on patient demands, but we will work with you to create a schedule that supports a healthy work-life balance.

What You Bring to the Team

• Licensed / Certified Dental Assistant eligible to practice in Nova Scotia.
• Positive, professional, dependable, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment.
• A true team player who is motivated to provide excellent patient care.
