About Us
Beaverton Kids Pediatric Dentistry opened our doors in December 2025 and we've been growing steadily busier every month since. We're a brand-new practice built around a simple idea: kids deserve a dental experience that's warm, fun, and stress-free. As we grow, we're looking for the right person to grow with us and help shape what our front office becomes.
We currently operate part-time on a consistent, reliable schedule — Monday and Tuesday, 8:30am–5:00pm, and Wednesday and Friday, 1:00pm–5:00pm — with plans to move to full-time hours (7:00am–6:00pm, 3 days/week) starting this September. We're hiring with full-time growth in mind: the person we bring on now is who we intend to grow with into that full-time role. This is a rare opportunity to join a growing practice on the ground floor and grow into a bigger role as we expand — including future potential to step into a lead/office manager position.
What You'll Do
As the first face our patients and parents see, you'll set the tone for every visit. Responsibilities include:
- Greeting patients and families with warmth and professionalism
- Managing scheduling, check-in/check-out, and patient flow
- Handling phone calls, inquiries, and appointment confirmations
- Verifying insurance and assisting with billing/payment questions
- Maintaining patient records and office organization
- Supporting the clinical team with day-to-day office operations
What We're Looking For
- Minimum 1 year of dental experience required
- Prior experience as a dental assistant working chairside strongly preferred — we love candidates who understand both sides of the practice
- Confident, proficient front desk/receptionist skills
- Familiarity with Archy practice management software a plus
- Strong emotional intelligence and genuine warmth with children and parents
- Excellent communication skills, written and verbal
- Self-motivated with the ability to work independently
- Highly organized with strong attention to detail
Above all, we're looking for the best fit for our team and our patients — someone who shares our passion for creating a positive dental experience for kids.
Why Join Us
- Guaranteed growth path — this is a part-time-to-full-time hire; we're looking for someone to build with us long-term

- Consistent, reliable weekly schedule
