Full Job Description

You scrub in. Gown, gloves, sterile field. Anesthesia is at the head of the bed, the circulator is counting, the surgeon is waiting on you.

Most dental assistants never do that once. You will do it on every case, every day.

Full-time, on site. 6:30 a.m. to about 3:00 p.m. No call, no weekends.

Independence Surgery Center is a new ambulatory surgery center in Independence, Missouri, owned and funded by the surgeons who operate in it. No private equity. No hospital system. No DSO. When something needs to change here, you talk to the owners.

We are hiring the surgical assistants who will open it.

Why this place exists

Medicaid patients, Medicare patients, and patients with special needs who cannot be treated in a dental chair get turned away by most surgical practices. The wait runs into months. Kids with infections. Adults who need an OR and have nowhere to go.

Two surgeons decided to stop referring those patients into a line that never moves and built a surgery center instead. That is the whole reason this building is here. It is not a side program, and it is not going to be 5% of the schedule.

The role

You assist a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon (DMD, MD), on every case. Room and instrument setup, instrument handling, intraoperative monitoring, recovery, discharge.

The pace is fast. The volume is high. That is the job.

What is different about working here

You will not sterilize instruments or clean rooms. Separate sterile techs do that. Your hands are for assisting.

No behavior management. Every patient is under general anesthesia.

And you are not walking into somebody else's system. We open late October, early November. How the trays get set, how the room flows, how we hand off to recovery, that gets decided in the first few months by the people doing it.

What you need

Experience in a surgical setting. Oral surgery, a medical OR, or a clinical dental practice where you worked around surgery at pace. Prior oral surgery is a plus.

You have to like surgery. The blood, the field, the parts most people would rather not watch. This matters more than anything else on this list. If that is not you, you will be miserable here.

What we cannot teach in a week is how a surgical room runs. You need to understand pace and sequence and staying a step ahead of the surgeon, or be ready to learn it fast.

What we train

Intraoperative monitoring, scrub and instrument handling for our cases, our recovery and discharge process.

Starting rate is $25 to $30 per hour depending on surgical experience.

If you are a strong chairside dental assistant without surgical experience, we will consider a 90-day training rate of $22, stepping to $25 or above on competency sign-off. Say so in your application if that is you. We would rather train the right person than wait for a perfect resume.

Is this real yet?

Fair question if you are thinking about leaving a stable job. The building is in construction. Licensure and accreditation are in process and opening is set for late October/early November.

Applying

Three questions come with the application. They take a few minutes and there are no trick answers. We read every one ourselves, because a resume does not tell us what we actually want to know.

Pay: $25.00 - $30.00 per hour

Benefits:

401(k) matching
Dental insurance
Employee discount
Free parking
Health insurance
Life insurance
Opportunities for advancement
Paid time off
Profit sharing

Vision insurance

Application Question(s):

Read the "Our Story" section at www.independencesc.com. Who owns and funded this surgery center, and what difference do you think that makes for the people who work here?
What would have to be true for you to still be working here in five years?
Assisting here means being in the surgical field: blood, suction, bone, extractions under general anesthesia. What is the most involved procedure you have assisted on, and how did you feel being that close to it?
