Job Description

This is bigger than dentistry. It's about changing how people feel when they walk through our doors.

n

About Us

n

At Mulgrave Dental Group, we're a values-driven practice that puts the patient experience at the heart of everything we do. Our team is built on six core values: Compassion, Positive Attitude, Passion for Patient Experience, Professionalism, Integrity, and Accountability.

n

We don't just treat teeth — we create an environment where patients feel genuinely cared for, and our team feels genuinely supported.

n

About the Role

n

We're looking for a Dental Assistant who sees this role as more than chairside support. You'll be a key part of delivering an exceptional patient experience from the moment someone walks in to the moment they leave.

n

Your responsibilities will include:

n

n
- Assisting chairside across a variety of dental procedures, ensuring patients feel comfortable and informed
n
- Preparing treatment rooms, instruments, and materials with precision and attention to detail
n
- Providing compassionate post-operative instructions and patient education
n
- Maintaining impeccable sterilisation and infection control standards
n
- Supporting the smooth flow of daily operations and patient scheduling
n
- Being a welcoming, reassuring presence for every patient
n

n

About You

n

You're the kind of person who leads with care and holds yourself to a high standard. You don't just show up — you lift the room. Specifically:

n

n




- You bring genuine compassion to every patient interaction — because the person in the chair is someone's parent, child, or partner
n
- You carry a positive attitude that's felt by everyone around you, even on the busiest days
n
- You're passionate about creating an outstanding patient experience at every touchpoint
n
- You take pride in your professionalism — in how you work, present yourself, and deliver care
n
- You act with integrity, doing the right thing even when no one is watching
n
- You're accountable — when you say you'll do something, you follow through
n

n

Qualifications

n

Certificate III or IV in Dental Assisting (or equivalent). Current first aid and CPR certification. A current police check (or willingness to obtain one).

n

Experience

n

Previous dental assisting experience is preferred but not essential for the right person. If you align with our values and are eager to grow, we want to hear from you.

n

What We Offer

n

n
- A supportive, values-driven team that genuinely enjoys working together
n
- Ongoing career development and career growth opportunities
n
- A modern, well-equipped practice with the latest dental technology
n
- A culture where your voice matters and your contributions are recognised
