We are currently seeking a reliable and versatile dental assistant to join our team in an all-rounder role. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys variety and takes pride in contributing to both clinical and administrative areas of the practice.
In this role, you will be responsible for a combination of chairside assisting, sterilisation, and front desk duties depending on the needs of the practice. Clinical responsibilities include preparing treatment rooms, assisting the dentist during procedures, maintaining accurate records, and ensuring patient comfort throughout their visit.
