Newcomb Smiles Dental is a growing, contemporary dental practice in Geelong's eastern suburbs, part of the same ownership group as the well-established Dove Dental Waurn Ponds. We're a small, close-knit team and looking for someone who can hit the ground running.
About the Role
We need an experienced, dual-skilled team member who can step confidently into both chairside dental assisting and front-of-house reception from day one. You'll work directly alongside our dentists, moving between clinical support and patient-facing admin as the day requires. As the clinic continues to grow, there's genuine scope for the right person to take on more responsibility over time - this isn't just a DA/reception role, it's a foot in the door.
Key Responsibilities
Chairside assisting: infection control, instrument prep and sterilisation, patient preparation, assisting during procedures
Reception: appointment scheduling, patient check-in/out, phone and email enquiries
Processing payments and health fund claims
Maintaining smooth patient flow between the clinical and front-of-house sides of the practice
Supporting the day-to-day running of a small, growing clinic
About You
Experienced Dental Assistant (Certificate III/IV highly regarded) and front-desk/reception experience in a dental or allied health setting
Confident working independently across both roles without on-the-job training
Familiarity with dental practice management software
Calm, adaptable, and comfortable switching between clinical support and patient-facing admin
Ambitious and reliable, with an interest in growing into a more senior or management-level role as the practice expands
What We Offer
Competitive pay reflecting your experience and dual skill set
Supportive ownership, genuinely invested in staff wellbeing and career development
Real potential to grow into a more senior or management-level position as Newcomb Smiles Dental expands
The chance to help shape how a growing practice runs day to day
