WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
Oral health represents one of the most neglected components of healthcare in Kenya, and this position holds immense significance as a result.
For many individuals in the communities we serve, access to comprehensive dental examinations has remained elusive—not due to a lack of concern, but because high-quality dental care has historically been inaccessible.
We operate seven dental units integrated within our medical centers throughout Nairobi, with plans for further expansion. We seek Community Oral Health Officers who are eager to contribute not merely as employees but as integral participants in an initiative that significantly advances oral health accessibility.
WHERE YOU WILL WORK
We are actively seeking qualified candidates to fill four full-time COHO roles in the following locations:
Tangela, located approximately 30 kilometers southeast of Nairobi, is a rapidly expanding town in Kenya’s Kannada County, offering a strategic blend of urban convenience and proximity to wildlife-rich areas. The area serves as a gateway to key wildlife conservation regions, including the Nairobi National Park, making it an attractive destination for both residents and investors seeking a balance between modern amenities and natural beauty. With improving infrastructure, such as enhanced road networks and expanding utilities, Kitengela is poised for significant growth, presenting diverse opportunities in real estate, agriculture, and tourism. The town’s dynamic economy, supported by a young and enterprising population, further enhances its appeal as a hub for sustainable development in the region.
