No prior dental experience required — we will train the right person

n

Help Us Create a Place Where Patients Feel Like Family

n

At South Burnett Dental Group, we believe that exceptional care starts the moment a patient sits in the chair — and the person who shapes that experience is you.

n

We are a fully private, close-knit general dental practice in Kingaroy, and we are looking for someone with a genuine passion for people to join our team as a Dental Assistant.

n

You do not need dental experience. What you do need is a track record of making people feel genuinely valued — whether that has been in retail, hospitality, healthcare, or any other customer-facing role. We will teach you the clinical skills. What we cannot teach is warmth, reliability, and genuine care.

n

About the Role

n

As our Dental Assistant, you will be chairside with our dentists — a trusted presence in the treatment room for every patient, every appointment. Your calm, attentive manner will directly shape how safe and supported our patients feel during their visit.

n

Your day-to-day will include:

n

n
- Supporting our dentists during procedures with confidence and attentiveness
n
- Preparing and resetting treatment rooms to a consistently high standard
n
- Following strict infection control and sterilisation protocols (full training provided)
n
- Mixing materials, passing instruments,



and anticipating the needs of the clinician
n
- Helping patients feel calm, informed, and reassured throughout their treatment
n
- Maintaining accurate clinical records and procedure documentation
n
- Contributing to a clean, organised, and professional clinical environment
n

n

Full training will be provided. We are looking for someone who is eager to learn and committed to doing the job properly.

n

What We're Looking For

n

A background in customer service or customer experience is our first preference. If you know how to make someone feel genuinely at ease — and you want to bring that into a clinical setting — we want to hear from you.

n

You will thrive here if you:

n

n
- Have prior experience in a customer-facing role (retail, hospitality, healthcare, admin, or similar) — this is our first preference
n
- Genuinely enjoy helping people and making them feel comfortable
n
- Pay close attention to detail and take pride in doing things properly
n
- Stay calm and focused under pressure
n
- Take ownership of your environment and notice what needs doing
n
- Work well as part of a small, close-knit team
n
- Believe that kindness and high clinical standards can coexist
n

n





Dental experience (preferred but not required):

n

n
- Prior dental assisting experience
n
- Knowledge of infection control or sterilisation protocols
n
- Familiarity with practice management software
n

n

Attitude, reliability, and a genuine desire to care for people matter most. Skills can be taught. Commitment and warmth cannot.

n

This Role May Not Be Right for You If...

n

n
- You prefer a purely routine or task-fixed role with limited patient interaction
n
- You find it difficult to stay composed in a clinical or quick-paced environment
n
- You are not comfortable working closely alongside others under pressure
n
- You need close supervision to stay engaged and take initiative
n

n

We support each other here — but we also expect everyone to bring reliability, focus, and genuine engagement to their role every day.

n

The Opportunity

n

n
- Casual role — minimum 3 days per week, with potential to increase
n
- Full clinical training provided across all aspects of dental assisting
n
- Supportive, respectful, and close-knit team environment
n
- A meaningful role in a community-focused practice
n
- Opportunity to grow your skills and your career with us
n

n

We are building something meaningful here in Kingaroy, and the right person will play an important part in that.

n

If you want to be part of a team that values connection, community, and high standards —

n

and you are ready to contribute wholeheartedly — we would love to meet you.
