Job Description

Location: Statewide, New Mexico

Schedule: 3–4 days per week (Weekdays; heavy statewide travel)

Compensation: $27 per hour + mileage reimbursement

Position Type: W2

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a dependable, mission‑driven Dental Assistant to support dental care services across skilled nursing facilities (NFs) statewide and InnovAge Albuquerque. This is a highly mobile role designed for someone who thrives in a structured clinical environment while enjoying travel and autonomy.

This position functions as an extension of the clinical team within a coordinated, community‑focused setting serving senior populations. If you're looking for meaningful, mission‑driven work with predictable scheduling and the opportunity to support multiple communities across New Mexico, this could be an excellent fit.

This opportunity operates within a community‑based outpatient clinic model:

• Clinic staff are on‑site full time

• Organized scheduling and predictable patient flow

• Coordinated, team‑based care environment

• Value‑based model focused on seniors

CMC manages equipment, supplies, scheduling, billing, and logistics — allowing the care team to focus entirely on delivering high‑quality patient care.

• Assist the Dentist during exams and procedures

• Prepare treatment rooms and sterilize instruments

• Support patient intake, charting, and documentation

• Maintain infection control and sterilization standards

• Collaborate with clinic staff as part of an integrated care team

• Travel statewide to multiple Senior Nursing Facilities (mileage reimbursement provided)

This is not a high‑volume corporate dental environment.

Our dental assistants work within established clinic environments supporting care for seniors as part of a coordinated healthcare team. We emphasize:

• Quality over volume

• Consistency and predictable scheduling

• Administrative and logistical support

• Long‑term clinic partnerships

• Ethical, mission‑driven healthcare delivery

• Dental Assistant experience required

• Certification or registration required if applicable in New Mexico

• Experience treating senior populations preferred

• Strong organizational and patient communication skills

• Reliable transportation and comfort with heavy statewide travel

• 3–4 weekdays per week

• Typical hours: 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM

• No nights

• No weekends

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is a family‑founded healthcare organization with over 25 years of experience increasing access to care for senior and underserved communities across 20+ states.
