Dental Assisting Instructor

Now Hiring: Part-Time Dental Assistant Instructor – Burien, WA

Are you passionate about dental assisting and ready to inspire the next generation of professionals? Aspire Dental Assistant Academy is seeking a part-time instructor for our Burien, WA location.

About the Position:
Classes are held on-site at a local dental office and offered during two schedule options:

• Saturdays: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM (includes a 30-minute break)
• Evenings: Tuesday and Wednesday 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

We are looking for instructor(s) interested in the Evening shift and/or the Saturday shift with availability to sub a Saturday/evening class in the event the other instructor is out.

What You’ll Do:
This is a hands-on clinical teaching role. Students complete their lectures and exams online. As the on-site instructor, your focus will be on:

• Demonstrating key clinical skills
• Supporting students as they practice and build competency
• Following a clearly structured syllabus and skills checklist

There’s no lecturing or test administration—just practical, student-centered instruction in a supportive setting. Prior to teaching, you’ll meet with our School Director (also the online instructor) to review the course structure and receive training on the program flow.

About Our Program:
Aspire is a 12-week entry-level dental assistant training program, fully licensed and approved by the State of Washington. We are a small, mission-driven team made up of dental professionals and educators who believe in quality over quantity. Our goal is to prepare students for meaningful careers—not just push them through.

We know that mastery takes time, but with the right guidance, students can develop a strong foundation and enter the workforce ready to grow. That’s where you come in.

Minimum Requirements:

• At least 3 years of clinical dental assisting experience
• CPR certification
• A genuine passion for teaching and mentoring future assistants

Pay: $35/hour (1099 contractor)
