Dental Assistant — Part Time (Tue & Fri + one more day)
Allied Dental Southern River · $32–$38 per hour · Experienced DAs only,front desk experience preferred
Plenty of DA ads say "experience preferred".
This one means it.
We're not looking for someone to train from scratch.
We're looking for an experienced dental assistant who can walk into a busy surgery, read the room, and keep a clinician moving from day one.
Why you'll want this one
Part time done properly — 2–3 fixed days a week, not shifting shifts
$32–$38/hr for genuine chairside experience
Great team culture (you probably have heard about this!)
About the role
We're being upfront about why this role exists.
We have more clinicians joining us and we need the help!
So this is a genuine, ongoing part-time role:Tuesday and Friday are fixed, plus one more day —Wednesday or Saturday, depending on what suits you and the practice roster.
If you want consistent part‐time work that fits around the rest of your life, that's exactly what this is.
About the practice
Allied Dental Southern River is a local, clinician‐led practice.
We're part of Allied Dental which is a network of practices across Perth with a dedicated head office in South Perth covering HR, marketing, finance and operations.
In practice that means the people in the surgery aren't buried in paperwork, and there's a real structure behind you: internal CPD, defined competency and pay progression, and the option to pick up work across the network if you ever want more days.




We use Praktika as our practice management software.
What you'll actually do
Chairside assisting across general and restorative treatment (four-handed), anticipating rather than reacting
Surgery set‐up, turnover and infection control to a consistent standard, every time
Sterilisation and stock management
Making patients feel looked after from the moment they sit down particularly the nervous ones
Supporting the front desk when it's busy and the day needs it
Working closely with our Practice Manager and Principal to keep the day running on time
Who we're looking for
At least 1 year of hands‐on dental assisting experience— this is the one non‐negotiable
Someone who sees what's needed next and does it, without being asked twice
Calm when the schedule slips, and genuinely valuable with anxious patients
Reliable as these days are fixed, and the team plans around them
Radiography licence and Praktika experience are a bonus, not a requirement
What's on offer
$32–$38 per hour, depending on experience
Fixed, predictable part‐time days (Tue + Fri + Wed or Sat)
Internal CPD program and a defined competency and pay progression framework
Opportunities to grow within the practice and beyond
Our process
We interview, and then we run apaid one‐day trialin the practice before anyone is offered the role.
It's the fairest way we've found to do this — you get to see how we work and who you'd be working with, and we get to see you in the surgery rather than across a table.
