About the Opportunity

An established dental practice in Beenleigh is seeking an experienced and capable Clinical Coordinator to support the smooth day-to-day running of the clinic.
This role sits between senior reception and Practice Manager level, making it an excellent opportunity for someone who is ready to take on greater responsibility without stepping into a fully strategic Practice Manager position.
You will remain hands-on with reception while also helping coordinate the team, monitor operational tasks and ensure the practice is properly staffed, stocked and running efficiently.
About the Role The Clinical Coordinator will play a central role in supporting daily practice operations and maintaining a well-organised patient and team experience.

Key responsibilities will include:

- Managing reception duties, patient enquiries and appointment bookings
- Ensuring patient books are well managed and clinical schedules remain productive
- Coordinating staffing levels and helping arrange appropriate daily coverage
- Supporting a team of four dentists and approximately five to six Dental Assistants
- Monitoring stock levels and ensuring supplies are ordered and available
- Completing regular reports and administrative tasks
- Following up outstanding actions and ensuring tasks are completed properly
- Supporting team communication and helping address day-to-day staff concerns
- Having professional and constructive conversations with team members when required
- Assisting chairside occasionally to support the clinical team
- Helping maintain a calm, organised and positive practice environment

About You

This role would suit a highly experienced Dental Receptionist, Senior Dental Assistant, Treatment Coordinator or Clinical Coordinator who is ready to develop their leadership and operational skills.
To be considered, you will ideally have:





- Strong knowledge of dental practice workflow and patient scheduling

- A proactive approach to following up tasks and resolving issues

Previous Practice Manager experience is not essential. The practice is looking for someone ready to step up from reception or senior clinical support into a broader coordination role.
Culture Fit The successful candidate will be someone who:

- Takes ownership rather than waiting to be prompted
- Follows tasks through to completion
- Communicates clearly and professionally
- Does not become overwhelmed during busier periods
- Can balance team support with accountability
- Is comfortable addressing issues rather than allowing them to continue
- Contributes to a dependable and respectful team culture
