Senior Executive Assistant & Operations Coordinator
LRL Dental Pty Ltd T/A Keppel Dental – Yeppoon QLD
Turn a busy practice owner's priorities into a calm, workable plan—and make sure it gets finished.
Keppel Dental is a long-established, family-run dental practice serving Central Queensland since ****. Today, we operate from a modern 10-chair oral health facility with an in-house lab, progressive digital technology and a capable, friendly team.
Our practice owner, Luke Christensen, is looking for a trusted right hand who can protect his attention, bring order to competing priorities and keep important work moving.
This is not simply a diary-management role. It combines senior executive assistance, selected practice projects and a defined amount of personal administration. It will suit someone who enjoys creating clarity, closing loops and respectfully challenging priorities when everything cannot happen at once.
What you'll own
Manage Luke's calendar, inbox, meetings and competing priorities
Build a reliable daily and weekly planning rhythm
Turn discussions and loosely defined requests into clear actions, owners and deadlines
Prepare concise correspondence, meeting notes, updates and decision briefs
Track commitments and follow up team members, suppliers and external partners
Coordinate selected practice projects and approved administrative workflows
Help keep scheduling, laboratory administration and implementation projects on track
Identify delays, conflicts and risks early rather than waiting for them to become problems
Build simple, repeatable systems without introducing unnecessary complexity
Handle sensitive business and personal information with excellent judgement
Coordinate a defined amount of personal administration—approximately 15% of the role—including appointments, travel, household suppliers and occasional purchases
Personal administration will take place within agreed boundaries and normal working hours. This is not a permanently on-call position.
What success looks like




Luke's calendar reflects his real priorities and retains enough space for focused work
Decisions and commitments are captured, assigned and followed through
Projects have clear owners, deadlines and visible status
Problems are raised early, with sensible options rather than surprises
Recurring administrative processes continue without depending on someone's memory
Luke and the wider team have greater clarity, fewer dropped balls and a more sustainable working rhythm
What you'll bring
Substantial experience in senior executive support, founder support, operations coordination, practice administration or a comparable role
A demonstrated ability to support a busy leader with multiple competing priorities
Excellent written communication, organisation and attention to detail
The confidence to question priorities, negotiate deadlines and follow people up respectfully
Strong judgement about what you can decide, what you should recommend and what must be escalated
A practical approach to systems and technology
The ability to learn new software and work confidently with carefully governed AI-assisted tools
Discretion, reliability and mature handling of confidential information
Full Australian working rights and the ability to work primarily on-site in Yeppoon
Experience in dental, healthcare or skilled services would be useful, but it is not essential.
You will help coordinate approved patient-administration and practice workflows, but you will not make clinical decisions, determine treatment suitability or direct clinical care.
What we offer
$90,000–$105,000 plus superannuation
A permanent, full-time Monday–Friday position with no routine weekend work
Direct access to the practice owner and genuine influence over how work is organised
Clear authority to improve systems and protect agreed priorities
Varied work with visible, meaningful results
