Previous dental assisting experience would be highly regarded, but it is not essential. We are also happy to consider someone who is interested in beginning a career in dental assisting and is willing to learn.
THE ROLE The position is primarily chair-side and sterilisation focused. Duties include:
Assisting the dentist during treatment
Preparing and cleaning the surgery between patients
Cleaning, sterilising and organising instruments
Preparing dental materials and equipment
Following infection-control procedures
Helping patients feel comfortable and well cared for
Assisting with general practice duties when required

Friendly and respectful with patients
Attentive and able to follow instructions
Practical and comfortable working with your hands
Able to work efficiently as part of a small team

The practice is located in Creswick, approximately 15 minutes from Ballarat. Hours and remuneration will depend on the successful applicant’s availability, qualifications and experience.
