  • Maintain accurate clinical notes and patient records under the direction of the treating dentist, ensuring patient confidentiality and appropriate handling of clinical information.
  • Check dental equipment for safe operation, report faults, maintain instruments and monitor clinical stock levels.
  • Liaise with dentists and reception staff to support appointment scheduling, treatment preparation and efficient clinical workflow.
  • Comply with workplace health and safety requirements, infection prevention and control standards, practice policies and lawful directions from supervising dental practitioners.

Qualifications and Experience

  • Minimum of one to two years of practical experience working as a Dental Assistant in a clinical dental practice.
  • Certificate III in Dental Assisting or Certificate IV in Dental Assisting is highly regarded; equivalent relevant training and practical experience will also be considered.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of dental instruments, materials, terminology, sterilisation procedures and chairside assisting techniques.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
