Bring Your Dental Skills to a Different Kind of Care Setting.

Southern Health Partners is seeking a dependable Dental Assistant to work alongside our onsite dentist at the Houston County Jail.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced dental assistant who is looking for occasional, consistent work without committing to a traditional full-time dental office schedule.

Our dentist provides dental services at the facility one day each month for an 8-hour shift, and we're looking for a dental assistant to support the dentist during those clinic days.

• Assist the dentist with patient care and chairside procedures
• Prepare the treatment area and dental instruments for clinic
• Assist with instrument sterilization and infection control procedures
• Prepare patients for dental treatment
• Assist with dental procedures as directed by the dentist
• Maintain a clean, organized, and properly stocked treatment area
• Assist with dental supplies and equipment
• Follow all applicable infection control and safety procedures
• Perform other dental assisting duties within your training and scope as directed by the dentist
• Work professionally and respectfully with patients in a correctional healthcare environment

• Previous dental assisting experience required
• Current CPR certification preferred
• Knowledge of dental instruments, sterilization, and infection control procedures
• Comfortable working directly alongside a licensed dentist
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow clinical instructions
• Professional, dependable, and able to maintain patient confidentiality
• Ability to work independently while supporting the dentist and healthcare team
• Correctional healthcare experience is not required

Candidates with formal dental assisting education or certification are encouraged to apply.

• One day per month
• 8-hour shift

Correctional healthcare offers a unique opportunity to provide meaningful care to an underserved population in a safe, secure, and structured environment.

You’ll work alongside a dedicated dental professional while helping ensure patients receive access to important dental care.

If you're an experienced dental assistant looking for a flexible opportunity that makes a difference, we'd love to hear from you!

For more than 30 years, Southern Health Partners has provided quality correctional healthcare services with a focus on patient care, clinical integrity, and a safe environment for both patients and healthcare professionals.
