Job Description
Senior Executive Assistant & Operations Coordinator
n
LRL Dental Pty Ltd T/A Keppel Dental – Yeppoon QLD
n
Turn a busy practice owner's priorities into a calm, workable plan—and make sure it gets finished.
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
What you'll own
n
n
Manage Luke's calendar, inbox, meetings and competing priorities
n
Build a reliable daily and weekly planning rhythm
n
Turn discussions and loosely defined requests into clear actions, owners and deadlines
n
Prepare concise correspondence, meeting notes, updates and decision briefs
n
Track commitments and follow up team members, suppliers and external partners
n
Coordinate selected practice projects and approved administrative workflows
n
Help keep scheduling, laboratory administration and implementation projects on track
n
Identify delays,



conflicts and risks early rather than waiting for them to become problems
n
Build simple, repeatable systems without introducing unnecessary complexity
n
Handle sensitive business and personal information with excellent judgement
n
Coordinate a defined amount of personal administration—approximately 15% of the role—including appointments, travel, household suppliers and occasional purchases
n
n
Personal administration will take place within agreed boundaries and normal working hours. This is not a permanently on-call position.
n
What success looks like
n
n
Luke's calendar reflects his real priorities and retains enough space for focused work
n
Decisions and commitments are captured, assigned and followed through
n
Projects have transparent owners, deadlines and visible status
n
Problems are raised early, with sensible options rather than surprises
n
Recurring administrative processes continue without depending on someone's memory
n
Luke and the wider team have greater clarity, fewer dropped balls and a more sustainable working rhythm
n
n
What you'll bring
n
n
Substantial experience in senior executive support, founder support, operations coordination, practice administration or a comparable role
n




A demonstrated ability to support a busy leader with multiple competing priorities
n
Excellent written communication, organisation and attention to detail
n
The confidence to question priorities, negotiate deadlines and follow people up respectfully
n
Strong judgement about what you can decide, what you should recommend and what must be escalated
n
A practical approach to systems and technology
n
The ability to learn new software and work confidently with carefully governed AI-assisted tools
n
Discretion, reliability and mature handling of confidential information
n
Full Australian working rights and the ability to work primarily on-site in Yeppoon
n
n
Experience in dental, healthcare or professional services would be useful, but it is not essential.
n
You will help coordinate approved patient-administration and practice workflows, but you will not make clinical decisions, determine treatment suitability or direct clinical care.
n
What we offer
n
n
$90,000–$105,000 plus superannuation
n
A permanent, full-time Monday–Friday position with no routine weekend work
n
Direct access to the practice owner and genuine influence over how work is organised
n
Clear authority to improve systems and protect agreed priorities
n
Varied work with visible, meaningful results
n
A friendly, established team in a progressive family-owned practice
n
Professional development and scope to grow into broader operational responsibility
