DO YOU LOVE HELPING PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE, CARED FOR, AND CONFIDENT IN THEIR SMILE?

At Clarinda Clinic, we believe that small acts of care can make a big difference in someone's day – and we are looking for a Dental Assistant who shares those values.

FULL-TIME DENTAL ASSISTANT

Enjoy the benefits of full-time employment with a four-day working week!

We are looking for a Full-Time Dental Assistant to join our team, with the opportunity to enjoy full-time hours across just four working days each week.

Your working week will consist of four days between Monday and Friday, with an additional weekday off.

The specific day has not yet been finalised and will be determined according to the operational needs of the practice. We aim to provide a consistent and predictable roster, with arrangements communicated in advance and flexibility maintained where needed.

This is a wonderful opportunity for someone seeking the stability of full-time employment, a healthy work-life balance, professional development and a long-term future within a supportive and progressive dental practice.

We would love to welcome someone who is passionate about patient care, enjoys being part of a team and is motivated to grow in their role over time.

- Takes pride in doing things thoroughly and well

- Values teamwork and consistency

- Communicates kindly and professionally

- Enjoys working in a calm, organised environment

- Takes initiative and contributes to the success of the team

- Wants to continue learning and growing over time

Whether you are an experienced Dental Assistant or newer to the profession, we would love to meet you.

With the right attitude and support, we believe great team members can thrive and grow with us.

Why Join Clarinda Clinic?

Enjoy the stability of full-time employment while working just four days each week.

Our working arrangements are designed to provide a balance between skilled commitment and personal wellbeing.

With full-time hours structured across four days, you'll benefit from an additional weekday off to recharge,



manage personal commitments or spend time doing what you love.

Your four working days will fall between Monday and Friday, with the additional weekday off to be determined.

The specific day will be determined by the practice, taking into consideration operational requirements, and communicated in advance. While we aim for consistency, some flexibility in the roster may be required.

We believe that maintaining a healthy balance between work and personal life helps our team feel energised, supported and ready to give their best.

• Modern & Progressive Practice

Our clinic is equipped with modern dental technologies, including:

- Guided Biofilm Therapy (Airflow)

- Dental microscopes

- Soft tissue laser technology

These technologies support our commitment to delivering high-quality patient care while creating opportunities for our team to continually learn and develop their skills.

We aim to provide a well-organised and predictable working environment while maintaining the flexibility necessary to support our patients and team.
