Stand out as a steri tech
The one credential practices notice first
Most steri tech candidates look the same on paper. A dental sterilization technician and assistant course gives you the vocabulary, workflow knowledge and safety confidence that makes a practice remember your name. It is a short investment that often leads to the first offer.

Is SkillCheck free for dental sterilization technicians?
Yes. Creating a profile, viewing matched practices and accepting a position is free. Nothing to download — it works in any browser on phone, tablet or desktop.
What is the difference between a steri tech and a sterilization assistant?
A dental sterilization technician usually manages the full instrument reprocessing workflow, while a sterilization assistant supports the role with tray setup, pouching and room turnover. Both are in demand as practices grow.
How are steri tech jobs matched?
Every open sterilization role is scored against your profile on pay, driving distance, schedule and workplace fit. You only see roles scoring above 70%.
Can I get matched if I am still training?
Yes. You can create a profile while completing your sterilization course. Adding your training and expected completion date strengthens your match score.
Will practices see my contact details before I accept?
No. Your name, email and phone stay hidden until you accept a position. Practices first see your match score, availability, commute range and relevant training.
Other dental roles we match
Many dental professionals are open to more than one chairside or support path. If you also train or work as a dental hygienist or dental receptionist and administrator, you can set those preferences in the same free profile. Compare typical pay across roles in our new zealand dental wage guide.
Hiring a steri tech instead?
Practices post sterilization technician and assistant roles free and receive scored candidates instead of a resume pile. Contact details are exchanged only when both sides agree.
