Clyde Dental Care is a brand-new, clinician-owned family practice opening in September **** at Ramlegh Springs Town Centre, Clyde North. It's owned and run by two clinicians who work in the practice every day: Hisham, a dentist with more than fifteen years' experience, and Christine, an oral health therapist. There's no head office. We answer to our patients, and we look after the team who look after them.
We're building for the long term, on good care and word of mouth. That needs a strong team and a genuine culture, so we've thought hard about the role you'd be stepping into.
Pay you can actually see
Most ads say "competitive rates" and leave you guessing. We'll be straight with you. You start at $***** an hour, above the award minimum, from day one. From there your pay rises as you build new skills and use them. You're paid for the skills you have and the work you do.
Room to grow
There's a explicit path: Dental Assistant, then Dental Assistant (Advanced), Senior Dental Assistant, and Clinical Coordinator. You'll be trained against clear standards and signed off at each step, so you always know where you stand and what comes next. We fund the training and qualifications that move you up.
The role
This job spans the surgery and the front desk, and we'll train you on both. Day to day:
Four-handed chairside assisting, with rooms and equipment kept ready
Sterilisation and infection control, done to standard
Clinical photos, intra-oral scans, and some lab work
Settling in new and emergency patients, including nervous children and adults
Front desk: greeting patients, phones, the appointment book in Principle,



payments and health fund claims
Whatever the task, you help people feel calm and well looked after, from the front door to checkout.
How we work
If something looks unsafe or not right, anyone can stop and say so, no blame. We'd rather redo a job than risk it. That applies to everyone, including the owners. We hold high standards, we resource them fairly, and we build you up to them in sequence. You won't be thrown in the deep end.
Who we're looking for
You'll do well here if you take pride in doing things properly, stay accurate when the day gets busy, and speak up when something isn't right.
Certificate III in Dental Assisting, or solid experience and a real plan to finish it
Sound infection control
Warm, clear communication with patients, including children
The confidence to raise a concern with a senior colleague when it counts
Happy to work across the surgery and the front desk (we'll train you on reception)
Willing to complete a national police check
Certificate IV in Dental Assisting (Dental Radiography) with a current Victorian radiation use licence
Reception or front office experience (dental or medical a plus)
Cloud practice software (we use Principle) and HICAPS
Orthodontic assisting, or lab and 3D printing
A second language spoken in and around Clyde North
