Do you want to be part of life-changing experiences?

At Glenferrie Dental, we're a leading Implant and Cosmetic Dental practice in the heart of Hawthorn. We're deeply committed to best practice and exceptional patient care, and as we continue to grow, we're looking for two warm, reliable people to join our front desk team:

Receptionist Team Leader (Full-time) $40 - $42 p/h depending on experience.

Receptionist (Casual) $36 - $37 p/h depending on experience.

A different kind of front desk

We don't do rushed, transactional or impersonal. Our patients are welcomed, known and genuinely cared for, and our team looks after each other in the same way. We value professionalism, but never at the expense of kindness or human connection. If kindness, presence and attentiveness come naturally to you, you'll feel right at home here.

You'll lead and support our reception team, helping shape how every patient feels from the moment they call or walk through our door. This role would suit someone who enjoys keeping things organised, likes to think a step ahead, and finds real satisfaction in helping others do their best work.

What you'll be doing

Leading, coaching and supporting the reception team day to day

Welcoming patients warmly and being a calm, reassuring presence at the front desk

Overseeing the appointment book so each day flows smoothly

Training and mentoring new team members

Coordinating rosters so the team is well supported

Looking after patient concerns with care, discretion and good judgement

Working alongside our Practice Manager and clinicians to keep improving the patient experience

Ideally, you'll have dental reception experience and some leadership experience, along with a calm, encouraging style that brings out the best in others.

Receptionist (Casual)
Shifts between 7:45am – 5:30pm

While this is a casual role, we see it as a genuine place in our team, not just a fill-in. As a small, close-knit practice, we love having casual team members who become familiar faces, both to our patients and to us.



You'll have the chance to get to know our systems and our people, and to offer patients the same warm, seamless care as the rest of the team.

What you'll be doing

Greeting patients warmly in person and over the phone

Booking and confirming appointments and helping manage the daily schedule

Processing payments and health fund claims

Keeping patient records accurate and up to date

Supporting the team so each day runs smoothly

Helping keep our reception area calm and welcoming

Dental or healthcare experience is a bonus, but what matters most to us is dependability and the right attitude.

Why reliability means so much to us

In a healthcare setting, consistency is what helps patients feel at ease. Our patients trust us to look after them, our clinicians work hand in hand with the front desk, and in a small team, everyone's contribution is felt. We'd love to hear from people who take pride in being dependable, follow things through, and enjoy being someone their team can rely on.

You'll fit right in if you are:

Warm, welcoming and well-presented

Reliable, consistent and accountable

Proactive and able to think for yourself

Organised, with a good eye for detail

Calm and steady, even on busy days

A explicit, friendly communicator

A genuine team player who lifts those around you

What you can expect

A supportive, respectful team that values growth and genuine connection. We invest in our people, look out for one another, and take real pride in the experience we create, for patients and for each other.
