Tankard Dental is looking for a dedicated and friendly Dental Assistant to join our team. The ideal candidate will assist our dentists in all aspects of patient care, maintain a clean and organised workspace, and help ensure a comfortable experience for every patient. While experience is preferred, we’re happy to consider a traineeship or a secondary school student with the right attitude and enthusiasm. We’re looking for someone who is well-groomed, organised, a clear communicator, and brings an outgoing, proactive attitude to the role. Some dental knowledge is an advantage, but not essential — full training can be provided for the right candidate. You’ll need to be flexible, have a strong work ethic, and enjoy working as part of a supportive team.
