Dental Assistant – Tankard Dental
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.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assist the dentist during procedures, including handing instruments and suctioning.
- Prepare and sterilise dental instruments and equipment.
- Maintain accurate patient records and update charts.
- Educate patients on oral hygiene and post-treatment care.
- Ensure the treatment room is clean, organised, and ready for each patient.
- Assist with appointment scheduling and patient inquiries as needed.
Requirements:
- Professional personal presentation.
- Exceptional customer service and communication skills.
- Strong attention to detail.
- Willingness and ability to learn.
- Empathy and care for patients.
- Excellent time management and organisational skills.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Current Working with Children Check and/or police check.
- Current driver’s licence.
- Up-to-date immunisation record.
If you’re passionate about patient care and excited to be part of a professional dental practice, we’d love to hear from you!
