This role offers an excellent work-life balance, with regular hours across three main days each week:

- Approximately 30 hours per week
- Occasional rostered Saturday shifts
- Opportunities to pick up additional shifts when available

Our team members take turns working Saturdays so the responsibility is shared fairly. The successful applicant will therefore need to be available for occasional Saturday shifts, with notice provided through the roster.

The Role

As a Dental Assistant, you will work closely with our dentists and wider clinical team to provide excellent patient care and help each appointment run smoothly.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Providing chairside assistance during a range of dental procedures
- Preparing treatment rooms, instruments, materials and equipment
- Supporting dentists throughout examinations and treatments
- Communicating warmly and professionally with patients
- Helping patients feel comfortable and supported throughout their appointments
- Following infection-control, sterilisation and workplace safety procedures
- Cleaning, disinfecting and preparing treatment rooms between patients
- Processing, packaging and sterilising instruments
- Maintaining accurate sterilisation records and clinical documentation
- Monitoring and restocking clinical supplies
- Assisting with laboratory work and the preparation of cases when required
- Supporting the smooth flow of patients and appointments throughout the day
- Maintaining patient privacy and confidentiality at all times
- Providing reception support when required and appropriately trained

Who We’re Looking For
