We’re Hiring: Registered Dental Hygienist – Nanaimo, BC (Part-Time)
Let’s start with a picture…
It’s a calm, coastal morning in Nanaimo. Maybe you grabbed a coffee by the water, took in the ocean air, and made your way into a welcoming clinic where your team knows you—and your patients genuinely look forward to seeing you.
You step into a well-organized, supportive space where everything is set up for success. Your schedule is thoughtfully paced, your patients are engaged, and you have the time to focus on what really matters: delivering exceptional care and building meaningful relationships.
You’re not rushed. You’re not just “filling a chair.” You’re making an impact—every shift you’re there.
Welcome to Uplands Dental.
Why This Role is Special
This is an opportunity to join a patient-focused clinic where hygiene is a valued and essential part of care, within a flexible, part-time schedule that supports work-life balance.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

A cozy, fully equipped clinic
A strong, well-supported hygiene program
A flexible part-time schedule (ideal for balance and lifestyle)
A collaborative, respectful, and positive team culture
A loyal, community-driven patient base

What You’ll Be Doing
This role goes beyond routine care—it’s about becoming a trusted partner in your patients’ long-term oral health.

In a typical day, you’ll:

Provide comprehensive preventive and therapeutic hygiene care, including scaling, root planing, and polishing
Perform oral health assessments, periodontal charting, and risk evaluations
Educate patients on oral hygiene, disease prevention, and whole-body health connections
Build strong, ongoing relationships with a consistent re-care patient base
Collaborate closely with dentists and the clinical team on treatment planning
Maintain accurate and thorough clinical documentation
Create a positive, comfortable patient experience that encourages long-term care

You’ll have the support, tools, and workflow to deliver high-quality care—without feeling rushed.
The Role

Part-time role with temporary full-time hours available (maternity leave coverage), transitioning to permanent part-time.
Schedule: Monday & Tuesday 8:15 - 5:00
Compensation: $60.00 - $64.00, depending on experience
Preferred: 1–2+ years of experience, new grads are welcome to apply
