This position plays a critical role in driving organizational success by contributing to key initiatives and supporting critical functions within the team. The ideal candidate will collaborate with stakeholders to identify opportunities for improvement, execute strategic projects, and ensure alignment with broader business objectives.

Oral health remains a significantly underemphasized component of healthcare in Kenya, underscoring the critical importance of this position.
In the communities we serve, many individuals have never received a thorough dental examination—not due to a lack of concern, but because access to high-quality dental care has historically been inaccessible.
We currently operate seven dental units integrated within our medical centers across Nairobi, with ongoing expansion plans. We seek Community Oral Health Officers (Cohos) who are not merely seeking employment but aspire to contribute meaningfully to advancing oral health accessibility.
