Job Summary Do you want to put a smile on a child's face? Do you want to improve the health of your community? As the Care Coordinator at Ready Set Smile, you will use your excellent communication skills to connect with families of diverse backgrounds and connect them to a dental clinic that can address urgent and nonurgent dental needs. You will become a trained MNSure navigator and help families access health insurance to support their overall wellbeing.

This position is an excellent opportunity for a candidate that is looking to make a tangible difference in their community while using communication, computer, and organizational skills.

Ready Set Smile believes:

Prevention of oral disease is more valuable than treatment.

Every child should have access to preventive dental services.

Children should be encouraged and empowered to be responsible for their oral health through education.

The gateway to children is through parents, their greater community and school.

All community members, local and extended, play a role in the success of students.

Integrating community members’ disciplines on behalf of children will generate profound and lasting change.

A new model of delivery and engagement is necessary to improve the oral health of all children.
