ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
Knock Recruitment is proud to partner with a highly respected and long standing dental practice in South Australia’s beautiful Riverland region.
The practice has been servicing the local community for many years and has built an outstanding reputation under the leadership of the Principal Dentist, who brings more than 36 years of clinical experience and has strong ties to the local area.
Due to continued patient demand, the practice is seeking either a Dentist or Oral Health Therapist to join the team. The Principal is looking to gradually step back from clinical duties and focus more on managing the practice, creating an outstanding opportunity for the right clinician to take over an established and busy patient base.
Patient demand is exceptionally strong. Both current dentists maintain full books with waiting lists, and the practice is only limited by the number of clinicians available. The successful candidate will walk into a busy schedule with plenty of patients from day one.
The practice is located approximately 2.5 hours from Adelaide and services a catchment area of almost 40,000 people. Despite the town itself having a population of approximately 10,000 residents, the practice draws patients from a large surrounding region where dental services are limited. There are only two other practices servicing the broader area, one operating full time and the other part time.
Whether you are seeking a tree change, a regional lifestyle, a FIFO arrangement or simply a supportive environment to continue developing your skills, this opportunity offers flexibility rarely found in private practice.
UPCOMING GRADUATES The clinic is also open to speaking with upcoming Dental graduates who are looking to commence their careers in January or February.
For graduates,
the practice is open to offering a salary based arrangement for the first year, providing greater stability while you develop your clinical skills, confidence and patient base.
You will receive direct mentorship from the Principal Dentist, who has more than 36 years of clinical experience. This is an opportunity to learn directly from a highly experienced clinician while working within an established practice with strong patient demand and an experienced support team around you.
If you are approaching graduation and looking for a practice that will genuinely invest in your development, we would be happy to speak with you now about a January or February start.
