Job Description

Fall Into a Better Work-Life Balance

A fresh season. A better schedule. Full-time pay without full-time hours.

As the leaves change and the season settles into a new rhythm, it might be the perfect time to make a change of your own.

Imagine enjoying crisp fall weekends, football games, pumpkin-picking, family time, or simply relaxing and recharging—without sacrificing your paycheck.

We're welcoming a Registered Dental Hygienist to our Haddon Heights family with a schedule intentionally designed to create real work-life balance.

  • Your Fall-Friendly Schedule
  • Mondays & Wednesdays: 7:00 AM – 7:30 PM
  • Rotating Friday or Saturday: 7:30 AM – 2:00 PM (paid at DOUBLE TIME!)

Here's the Best Part

  • Paid 1-hour lunch every shift
  • Work only ~31.5 hours per week
  • Get paid for 38 hours every week
  • Enjoy 3-day weekends twice a month
  • Spend more time enjoying the season outside of work

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • We believe your career should fit into your life—not the other way around.
  • Clinical autonomy with a truly patient-first philosophy—no micromanaging
  • Private-practice feel with the stability and resources of a larger organization
  • Modern technology and dependable scheduling
  • Collaborative team alongside general dentistry, endodontics, orthodontics, and oral surgery
  • Continuing education support and opportunities to grow
  • A positive, supportive culture where your voice is heard
  • Regular team huddles and a fun, low-drama workplace

Great Pay for Less Time at Work

  • You shouldn't have to choose between a great paycheck and having time for yourself.
  • Paid 1-hour lunch each day
  • Work approximately 31.5 hours/week
  • Get paid for 38 hours/week
  • At a $48/hr base, that's approximately $1,824/week paid
  • That's an effective rate of approximately $57.60/hr based on hours actually worked
  • Benefits You'll Appreciate
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Paid time off
  • Paid holidays
  • Paid lunch breaks
  • Supportive team environment

What We're Looking For

  • Active or pending New Jersey RDH license
  • Excellent clinical skills
  • Warm, compassionate chairside manner
  • Team-first attitude
  • Genuine passion for patient care
  • Ready for a Fresh Start This Fall?

Maybe this fall isn't about adding more to your plate. Maybe it's about making room for more of what matters.

More weekends. More family time. More time to recharge. More balance—while still earning a great income.

If you're looking for exceptional pay, fewer hours at work, and a team you'll genuinely enjoy working with, we'd love to meet you.

Our conversations will always remain confidential. Fall into a career that gives you more time for life.
