The Institute of Odontology and Oral Health at the Aarhus University Faculty of Health Sciences is seeking a dental hygienist for a teaching position on the dental hygiene education program as of 1 January 2027. The position is a fixed-term part-time appointment of 26 hours per week.

Your responsibilities

Your tasks will primarily be planning and performing the clinical teaching in pediatric dentistry for the dental hygiene students. Together with colleagues you will teach dental hygiene students to examine and treat children aged 0-21 years within the scope of the dental hygienist’s duties.

Teaching pediatric dentistry to dental hygiene students takes place in ever closer collaboration with the corresponding teaching for dental students, in line with The Aarhus Model of Dental Education. You will work with dental care in an educational context in a department with good opportunities for both professional and personal development. In your daily work you will have close interaction with skilled colleagues, and you will be part of a team of dedicated teachers.

The position also includes, to a lesser extent, teaching at the dental hygienist adult clinic.

The position includes development and planning of the clinical teaching, participation in examinations, primarily in courses concerning children and adolescents, and there may be administrative tasks such as being responsible for a course.

You report to the Educational Leader Ulla Bæk Lindtoft.

Your competencies

You are educated as a dental hygienist with Danish authorization and have broad experience with dental hygiene for children and adolescents. You have a high level of professional competence, particularly in pediatric dentistry, cariology and health education. You may have teaching experience, which could also be from voluntary work. Your approach to both colleagues and students is appreciative, and you possess strong communication skills.

As a person you have good collaboration skills and are flexible and responsible. You can work independently and in a structured way and you have a good overview. A hallmark is that you are positive, engaged and value a dynamic everyday life, and that you enjoy working with young people.

A police clearance certificate for working with children is a prerequisite for employment in the position.
