Job Description:

Experienced Dental Assistant / Receptionist

Aspendale Gardens VIC

If you have been waiting for a genuinely supportive, long-term dental role where you are appreciated, respected and excited to come to work each day — this could be the opportunity you have been looking for.

Attention To Dental is proudly recruiting on behalf of a highly regarded, privately owned dental practice in Melbourne’s south-east that is known for its exceptional team culture, loyal patient base and relaxed yet professional atmosphere.

This is not your typical “just another dental job.”

This practice has built a reputation over many years for creating a positive workplace where staff stay long term, support one another and are treated like valued members of the team — not just numbers. With modern facilities, accommodating leadership and a genuinely family-oriented environment, opportunities like this rarely become available.

Due to a valued team member pursuing studies in a new field, we are now seeking an experienced Dental Assistant / Receptionist to join this wonderful practice.


Why This Role Stands Out

  • Supportive and emotionally mature team culture
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • Long-standing staff tenure
  • Modern, well-equipped practice
  • Supportive onboarding and training
  • Accommodating environment for working parents
  • Relaxed atmosphere without compromising professionalism
  • Leadership team that genuinely values their staff
  • Stable, long-term opportunity with an immediate start available
