No prior dental experience required — we will train the right person
South Burnett Dental Group Kingaroy, Queensland Dental Assistant n
No prior dental experience required — we will train the right person
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.
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.
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.
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.
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




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.
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 rapid-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.
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.
