For public health and government
Dental coverage that survives your procurement process
Public programs do not fall over because nobody wanted the shift covered. They fall over because the coverage could not be bought, screened, or scheduled the way the organization requires. WORKFORCE staffs dental services for health authorities, public health units, correctional facilities, and government programs on those terms.

Settings we staff
Health authorities and provincial programs
Regional authority dental clinics and provincially funded programs, including sites that run intermittently rather than to a fixed weekly schedule.
Public health units and school programs
Screening, sealant, and fluoride varnish programs that need trained hands for a defined season rather than a permanent post.
Correctional facilities
Custodial dental services, where scheduling, screening, and site access requirements are set by the facility.
Indigenous and tribal health services
Health organizations serving First Nations and tribal communities, staffed on the terms and protocols those organizations set.
Municipal and county clinics
Local government dental services covering residents who fall outside private care.
Mobile and outreach programs
Van-based and travelling clinics reaching rural, remote, and underserved communities on a rotating schedule.
Procurement
How to actually buy this
Most staffing vendors are set up for a practice manager with a credit card. Public bodies buy differently, and a service that cannot meet that is not a service you can use.
Solicitations
We respond to RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs. Send us the document and the closing date and we will tell you promptly whether we can meet the requirement rather than submitting something that wastes an evaluation cycle.
Standing arrangements
We can work under standing offers, master service agreements, and vendor of record arrangements where your organization uses them, and supply the vendor documentation those set-ups require.
Purchase orders and terms
Work can be raised against a purchase order with agreed net terms, so coverage does not depend on a card at the front desk.
Invoicing and audit trail
Invoices itemise site, date, role, and hours worked, so a line can be traced to a shift when your finance team or an auditor asks.
The constraints we work inside
Public sector staffing comes with rules that a private practice never encounters. We would rather be plain about which of them are yours to decide.
Collective agreements
Where a bargaining unit governs how and when temporary staff can be engaged, that determination is yours and your labour relations team's. Tell us the constraints that apply and we will work inside them rather than around them.
Screening and site access
Criminal record checks, vulnerable sector screening, immunization records, and facility-specific access requirements vary by site. Tell us what your screening asks for and we will provide it before anyone is scheduled.
Fixed-term and seasonal programs
Programs funded for a school year, a grant period, or a fiscal quarter need coverage that starts and stops on those dates. Recurring assignments can be booked to a defined end date.
Send us the requirement
A solicitation document, a list of sites, or just the hours you need covered. We will tell you plainly whether we can meet it and what it costs.
