Oral health remains an underappreciated component of healthcare in Kenya, underscoring the critical importance of this position.
Many individuals within the communities we serve have never undergone a comprehensive dental examination, not due to a lack of concern, but rather because access to high-quality dental care has historically seemed unattainable.
We currently operate seven dental units integrated across our medical centers in Nairobi, with ongoing expansion plans. We seek Community Oral Health Officers (Cohos) who are not merely seeking employment but are eager to contribute to a transformative initiative aimed at enhancing oral health accessibility.
WHERE YOU WILL WORK
We are currently seeking to fill four full-time COHO roles, available across the following locations.
Kitengela, situated approximately 30 kilometers southeast of Nairobi, is a rapidly expanding industrial and residential hub in Kenya. The town offers a strategic location for businesses seeking proximity to the capital while benefiting from lower operational costs and a growing workforce. With improved infrastructure, including enhanced road networks and access to utilities, Kitengela is becoming an attractive destination for investors and residents alike. The area boasts a diverse economy, encompassing manufacturing, logistics, real estate, and agriculture, which contributes to its dynamic growth. Additionally, its proximity to key transportation routes, such as the Nairobi-Mombasa highway and the SGR railway, further enhances its connectivity and economic potential.
