About the Company

Looking to launch your career in dentistry or take your existing skills to the next level?

Our client is a modern, patient-focused dental practice in Victoria's picturesque Goldfields region, offering an exciting opportunity to develop a rewarding career in the dental industry.

With a welcoming team, contemporary dental technology and a strong emphasis on professional development, this established two-chair clinic provides the ideal environment to learn, build confidence and gain practical experience.

Unlike larger practices where responsibilities can be limited, our client's close-knit environment allows you to become involved in multiple aspects of dental care, from assisting with restorative treatments to supporting patients and managing daily clinic operations.

Whether you're an experienced Dental Assistant or a complete beginner with the right attitude, this could be your opportunity to build valuable skills in a growing healthcare profession.

About the Position Our client is looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Dental Assistant to join our clients' team, preferably on a full-time basis, although part-time arrangements will be considered.

This position offers much more than traditional chairside assisting. You'll receive practical training across clinical procedures, modern dental technology, infection control and reception duties, helping you develop a versatile skill set.

You'll have the opportunity to gain exposure to CEREC technology, used in creating same-day dental restorations, alongside general and restorative treatments.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting dentists during examinations, fillings, dental crowns and other general dentistry procedures.
• Learning CEREC workflows and supporting same-day restorative treatments.
• Developing practical skills in creating denture moulds, whitening trays and custom mouthguards.
• Preparing treatment rooms, instruments and equipment for clinical procedures.
• Learning sterilisation protocols and maintaining excellent infection control standards.
• Supporting patients throughout appointments to ensure a comfortable experience.
• Gaining valuable reception experience, including appointment scheduling and patient enquiries.
• Working alongside an experienced team to build confidence in clinical and administrative duties.

This is an ideal opportunity to develop the foundations for a long-term career in dentistry while gaining experience across a diverse range of responsibilities.
