Join a close-knit team that genuinely looks after each other. Blackheath Dental is looking for a reliable, people-focused Dental Receptionist/Assistant to join our team on a long-term basis, 3 to 4 days a week with potential to increase days in future. We're a busy practice with supportive management, and we're looking for someone who wants to settle in, take real ownership of their role, and grow with us over the years — not just pass through.
We pride ourselves on providing exceptional dental care and making every patient feel at home from the moment they walk in. It's a warm, hardworking practice where people enjoy coming to work.
About the role
The role rotates between reception and clinical assisting:
- Greeting patients and making them feel welcome
- Answering calls, booking appointments and managing the schedule
- Processing payments
- Sterilisation and infection control
Infection control and chairside work are skilled, responsible parts of the job, and we'll fully train you in them — this is a role with genuine clinical responsibility, not reception with a bit of assisting added on.
Hours
Practice hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with Saturday mornings by appointment. We'll confirm your set days with you — we value stability as much as you do.
Who we're looking for
Any level of experience will be considered. Full training, including workshops, is provided, so what matters most is the right person and the right fit. You'll thrive here if you are:
- Committed and dependable, with a genuine sense of ownership over your work
- A natural problem-solver with strong attention to detail
- Calm and organised in a busy environment, and good at juggling competing priorities
- Someone who genuinely enjoys working with people and putting patients at ease
- Comfortable following clear procedures and open to feedback
- Confident with computers and quick to pick up new systems
For the right person, there's genuine room to grow here. As your experience and skills develop — including gaining your Certificate III in Dental Assisting — you'll build the credibility to step into a more senior, trusted role within the team over time.
