Job description

Join our friendly team as a full-time receptionist! If you are organised, personable, and ready to support our patients and practice, this could be the perfect role for you.

Be the welcoming face of our patient-centred practice

Enjoy a supportive, small-team environment with a competitive rate.

Convenient Hobsonville location with free parking, cafes, supermarket and more!

We are a dental practice in Hobsonville seeking a full-time receptionist to help keep our operations organised and running smoothly! If you’re someone who takes pride in helping others and ensuring a welcoming environment, we’d love to hear from you!

About the role:

We are looking for a reliable, organised, and friendly receptionist to support our small, dedicated team. In this role, you will be the first point of contact for our patients, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for, while keeping the practice efficient and on track.

A bit about you:

You understand the importance of creating a welcoming first impression and know how to manage the day-to-day moving parts that keep a busy practice running smoothly.

Your family and friends would describe you as organised, proactive, and someone who thrives in a role where you can keep everything on track. You enjoy helping others and know how to make patients feel cared for. You have a calm approach in busy moments, and handle tasks efficiently without needing close supervision.

A few technical bits…

You are pretty tech savvy and either have experience with Exact Dental software, or you know that you’ll pick it up quickly.

You don’t mind jumping on the phone and contacting people. We all know that a call from the dentist can be something people avoid – but you’re okay to call and do follow-ups. You get it!

You take pride in your communication skills, making it a priority to be clear, calm, and reassuring with every patient interaction.

Why work with us?

We are a small, family-owned practice with many loyal, long-term patients from across Auckland and New Zealand. Our focus is on providing outstanding dental care, and we value team members who are committed to helping us deliver that care in an organised and supportive environment.

What we offer:

We offer a competitive rate and will make sure that we reward for shared success.

Our dental clinic is located in a pretty cool spot! We are embedded amongst cafes, restaurants, and are super close to the supermarket, making that weekly chore ever so slightly easier!

Parking is available and free.

This is a busy, people-focused role with plenty of patient interaction. If this role sounds like you, we would love to meet you!
