The deepest hygiene network on Fairly

Fairly started on Jasper Avenue, and Edmonton clinics were the first to post shifts on the platform. For a hygienist, that history translates into practical advantages you feel every week:

  • More clinics posting means more shifts to choose from, across every quadrant of the city.
  • Choice lets you be picky: filter for the commutes, software, and practice styles you actually want.
  • A deep market supports every way of temping, from the occasional Saturday to a fully temp-built week.

Temping as a career, not a stopgap

In Edmonton, enough clinics use Fairly that hygiene temping works as a long-term way to practice. The pattern we see: a hygienist starts with a few one-off shifts, a handful of clinics start rebooking them directly, and within months they have a rotation of regulars plus open days they fill from the app.

The economics stay in your hands throughout. You price your own hour (the Alberta median for RDHs is $68/hr and has climbed 7% in three years), clinics book you at exactly that price, and no agency percentage ever comes off your pay. Shifts from clinics in St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Leduc, and the other communities around the city appear alongside Edmonton proper, each showing its distance from you.
