Job description

Dental Assistant- Casual or Full Time Position

Experienced Dental Assistant | Kawana Dental

Buddina, Sunshine Coast

• Full-time or casual
• Full-time hours over four days

If you enjoy a busy day chairside and like working with a team who pitch in when things get hectic, we’d love to meet you!

A team you can count on.

We’re a family-owned, nine-chair practice just minutes from Buddina Beach, and we’ve been caring for the Sunshine Coast community for almost 40 years. We make time for birthdays, work anniversaries and team catch-ups, and on the busiest days someone usually knows when it’s time for a coffee run.

Because we have a large team, we set aside dedicated time when you start to show you how we work, introduce you to the people you’ll work with and help you settle in. You’ll have teammates to turn to for questions and support as you get comfortable in the role.

You’ll work with modern technology and have the chance to build your skills across different areas of dentistry. If you join us full-time, you’ll work 38 hours over four days, with a regular day off each week. We also open a few chairs on Saturday mornings and share those shifts on a rotating roster.

What you’ll do

• Assist chairside and help patients feel comfortable throughout their visit
• Set up and turn over treatment rooms between appointments
• Sterilise instruments and maintain high infection control standards
• Work with the clinical team to keep appointments running smoothly
• Help reception with patient enquiries, bookings and general front-office duties if needed

What you’ll bring

• Previous dental assisting experience
• A friendly manner with patients and clear communication with colleagues
• Reliability and good organisation, especially when the practice gets busy
• Availability for shifts that can start as early as 7:15 am and finish between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm

Experience with Dental4Windows is a bonus.

Orthodontic Experience also a bonus!

We’d love to hear from you if you’re looking for a dental assisting role where people know you and have your back.
