Job Description:


Dental Assistant (2 Opportunities Available)
More than a job — a place you'll feel proud to be part of

If you've ever felt like just another DA in a busy clinic this will feel different.

We are looking for two Dental Assistants to join our team across two well-established, high-quality practices — environments where standards are high, but so is the level of support, respect, and teamwork.

This is a role where your contribution is seen, valued, and genuinely appreciated.

What's In It For You

Let's be clear — this role isn't just about what you give, it's about what you gain.

A team that actually supports you — no egos, no being left to struggle
A calm, well-run clinical environment where systems are in place and respected
Dentists who value their assistants and work with you, not above you
The opportunity to build your confidence and expand your clinical skills
Flexibility to suit your lifestyle — with casual options available
A workplace where you can enjoy coming to work again

This is the kind of role that reminds you why you chose dental in the first place.

The Role

You'll be at the centre of the clinical flow — supporting practitioners, caring for patients, and helping ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Your days will include:

Chairside assisting across a range of procedures
Preparing and maintaining instruments and equipment
Managing efficient, compliant clinical changeovers
Taking and processing X-rays (if licensed)
Supporting patients before, during, and after treatment
Assisting with clinical notes and patient records
Keeping the day moving calmly and efficiently

About You

You're someone who takes pride in your work and genuinely cares about the experience you create for patients.

You will likely have:
Experience working as a Dental Assistant
Certificate III or IV in Dental Assisting (preferred, not essential)

But more importantly, you are:
Warm, professional, and patient-focused
A clear and confident communicator
Calm under pressure and adaptable
Detail-oriented and clinically aware
A true team player who steps in when needed
Someone who notices what needs to be done — and does it

Why This Role Stands Out

Not all dental roles are created equal.

This is a practice where:
Team culture is intentional — not just something written in an ad
Standards are high, but so is the level of respect
People stay because they feel supported
You are treated as a professional, not just a position to fill

Why You're Seeing This Role Through Attention To Dental

This opportunity is being managed by Attention To Dental, a boutique dental recruitment agency founded and operated by a Dental Assistant with over 30 years of experience in the industry.

We work differently to traditional agencies.

We partner only with practices that meet our standards
We take the time to understand what you are looking for — not just fill a role
We provide honest insight into the practice, team, and expectations
We support you through the process, not just the placement

Our goal is simple — to connect you with a role where you will genuinely thrive, not just fit.

If you're ready to step into a role where you feel valued, supported, and proud of the work you do — we'd love to hear from you.
