About the Company

Looking for an Oral Health Therapist position that works around your family, rather than the other way around?

Our client is looking for experienced Oral Health Therapists interested in family-friendly opportunities across Canberra, ACT.

For many dental professionals, finding the right position isn't just about the clinical work. It's about being able to manage school drop-offs, family commitments and everything that happens outside the dental clinic.

Our client understands the importance of sustainable working arrangements and is seeking passionate OHTs who want to continue delivering exceptional patient care while maintaining a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives.

About the Position These opportunities are ideal for Oral Health Therapists who want a fulfilling clinical career without sacrificing valuable time with their families.

Whether you're returning to work after parental leave, looking to reduce your working days or simply hoping to find more predictable hours, we'll focus on opportunities that align with your availability and priorities.

Your day-to-day clinical responsibilities may include:

- Performing preventative dental care, including scale and cleans and fluoride treatments
- Providing oral hygiene education to children, adults and families
- Delivering periodontal maintenance and preventative gum care
- Performing fissure sealants and children's restorative treatments within your clinical scope
- Identifying early signs of dental decay and supporting preventative treatment planning
- Providing ongoing oral health education and helping patients establish healthy dental habits
- Working closely with Dentists and dental support staff to ensure continuity of care

The exact treatment mix will depend on the clinic and your approved scope of practice.
