We are a private, single-owner dental practice seeking a highly capable leader to join our team as our permanent, full-time Office Manager working 32 hours per week. This position features an excellent schedule covering Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, leaving Wednesdays and weekends completely off.
