Granite Belt Dental – Stanthorpe

About the role

This is a varied position where no two days are quite the same. Depending on the needs of the practice, your day may include:

• Chair-side assisting with our dentists and oral health practitioners

• Preparing surgeries and assisting with patient care

• Sterilisation and instrument reprocessing

• Reception and administrative duties

• Answering phones and assisting patients with appointments

• Supporting the wider clinical and administrative team

We are particularly interested in finding someone who enjoys being busy, likes working with people and is happy to help wherever they are needed.

About you

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Have a genuine interest in healthcare and dental assisting

• Are friendly, caring and confident when communicating with people

• Are reliable, punctual and take pride in doing your job well

• Enjoy working as part of a team

• Are also comfortable working independently and using initiative

• Are organised and able to manage multiple tasks in a busy environment

• Are willing to learn, take direction and continue developing your skills

• Have a positive attitude and contribute to a supportive team environment

• Have good computer skills and a professional phone manner

• Are available between 7-30 am and 6-00 pm, Monday to Friday, depending on the roster

• Hold a current driver's licence and have reliable transport, with the ability to travel between our clinics occasionally if required

Previous dental experience or a Certificate III in Dental Assisting would be highly regarded, but is not essential. Attitude, reliability and finding the right fit for our team are equally important to us.

What we can offer you

• A supportive and established team

• Long-term employment and career development opportunities

• Support to complete your Certificate III in Dental Assisting for the right candidate

• Exposure to a broad range of dentistry and opportunities to expand your skills

• A varied role across both clinical and administrative areas

• Staff dental discounts

• Additional benefits through selected third-party health providers

• Attractive remuneration based on experience and qualifications

If you're someone who enjoys helping people, learns quickly, takes pride in their work and wants to become a valued part of a busy dental practice, we'd love to hear from you.

We look forward to hearing from you.
