Permanent Part-Time |Mon, Tue & Fri | Gordon, Upper North Shore Sydney

About Us At Marvel Orthodontics, we believe everyone deserves the confidence to be their true self and reach their full potential. Through trusted expertise, personalised care, and a focus on results, we create marvellous smiles that transform lives. We're a specialist orthodontic practice known for calm, unhurried, genuinely personal care, and we hold a high standard in everything patients see and everything they don't.

The Role

This is a senior position at our Gordon practice, three days per week (Monday, Tuesday and Friday), combining chairside assisting, treatment coordination, and day-to-day clinic coordination.

Treatment Coordination

- Guide new patients through their consultation experience.
- Present treatment plans, discuss fees, and walk patients through payment options so they can decide with confidence.
- Own the follow-up: staying in touch with patients who aren't ready yet,



warmly and without pressure.
- Build the kind of rapport that makes patients feel looked after, not sold to.

Clinic Coordination

- Keep the clinical day running smoothly: scheduling flow, stock, lab work, and daily operations.
- Support and guide our junior team members on clinical standards.
- Handle patient calls, emails, and enquiries relating to treatment.

Who You Are
