Who You Are
You embody our Tend values and bring the competencies that make exceptional clinical care possible. At tend, these values aren’t just words on a wall — they’re how we hire, lead, and collaborate. Every team member is expected to show up with a mindset grounded in our mission, vision, and values.
Tend Values
Tend to Others: You put members and teammates first — delivering outstanding care and a genuinely human experience, even in a fast-paced per diem environment. You show up ready, engaged, and present for the people in your chair.
Be Brave Enough to Lead: You act with integrity and take clinical ownership. As a PRN provider, you step into new studios with confidence, make sound decisions independently, and hold yourself to the same standard you’d expect from anyone on your team.
Savor the Ride: You bring positive energy into every shift — celebrating the work, staying resilient through the unexpected, and making the team better just by being there.
Embrace Our Differences: You welcome diverse perspectives, communicate with respect, and meet every member where they are — adapting your approach to make each person feel seen and heard.
Rooted in Growth: You’re always learning — whether that’s refining your technique, deepening your knowledge of aligner therapy, or absorbing a new workflow in a studio you’ve never worked in before.
Role-Based Competencies
Earn and Give Trust: You earn the confidence of members and teammates through honesty, transparency, and consistent follow-through — especially in a setting where you may be meeting people for the first time.
Lead with Clinical Judgment: You make sound clinical decisions grounded in data, evidence, and patient needs. In a per diem context, that means being decisive and self-directed without sacrificing thoroughness or quality.
Adapt and Execute: You can read a room, integrate quickly into a new studio environment, and deliver excellent care regardless of whether it’s your first or fiftieth shift with a given team.
