Certificate III in Dental Assisting

Job description

We’re looking for our next great team member!

Let’s be honest — you can teach someone a new system, where everything lives and all the quirks of a new practice.

What you can’t teach is being a genuinely great person to work with.

That’s what we’re looking for.

We’re a busy, modern dental practice at Be Dental in Arundel, and we’re looking for an experiencedDental Assistant/Receptionistto join our team on a casual basis.

The hours:

Weekdays 7:15am – 5:30pm

No night shifts

Who are we looking for?

Someone who:

• Has some flexibility with their days
• Has previous dental assisting experience and can hit the ground running
• Is confident working chairside and understands the rhythm of a busy dental practice
• Can comfortably step into reception when needed
• Takes pride in doing things properly — not just getting them done
• Is calm, kind and empathetic with patients
• Communicates well and genuinely enjoys being part of a team
• Brings a positive attitude, even on the days when the schedule has other plans!
• Is reliable, organised and willing to pitch in wherever they’re needed

A Certificate III in Dental Assisting is ideal, but not essential.

What matters to us

Our values aren’t just words on a wall.

Teamwork & Collaboration

We help each other. No “that’s not my job” attitude.

Empathy

For our patients, and for each other. Everyone has a bad day sometimes.

Excellence

We care about doing things well — clinically, professionally and personally.

Positivity

We spend a lot of time at work, so we want it to be somewhere people actually enjoy being.

Family

We understand that work is important, but it’s not the only thing that’s important.

And that’s probably the best way to describe our practice.

We have great patients, great people and a modern practice, but most importantly, we genuinely want the people who work here to enjoy coming to work.

We’re looking for someone who wants to become part of the team — not just fill a spot on the roster.

If you’re an experienced DA who is looking for a friendly practice where people actually look out for one another, we’d love to hear from you.
