Seeking a Dental Assistant

Full-Time Dental Assistant
Synergy Dental is looking for a full-time Dental Assistant to join our team.

This is a permanent position within a supportive, well-established practice that values professionalism, kindness, teamwork, and genuinely good patient care.

 

We’re looking for someone organised, calm under pressure, and naturally good with people. Dental experience is helpful, but not essential — attitude, reliability, and willingness to learn matter most.

 

About the Role
As a Dental Assistant, you’ll play an important part in helping the practice run smoothly and ensuring patients feel comfortable and cared for throughout their visit.

 

The role includes:

  • Chairside assistance across a range of treatments

  • Supporting patients before, during, and after appointments

  • Coordinating appointments and patient communication

  • Assisting with sterilisation and clinical organisation

  • Working closely with clinicians and the wider team

  • Using EXACT practice management software

  • This is a fast-paced role with plenty of variety and responsibility. 

About You
You’ll likely suit this role if you:

  • Communicate well and enjoy working with people

  • Are organised and dependable

  • Stay calm in busy environments

  • Learn quickly and take initiative

  • Enjoy being part of a team

  • Take pride in doing your job well

  • Experience in healthcare, hospitality, administration, customer service, childcare, or similar people-focused roles can transfer well into this position.

 

What We Offer
At Synergy Dental, we’ve worked hard to build a positive team culture with strong support systems and long-term career opportunities.

 

We provide:

  • Full on-the-job training

  • Support from experienced clinicians and senior team members

  • Opportunities for ongoing development

  • A stable, long-term position within a respected practice

  • Support toward a nationally recognised Dental Assistant qualification

Hours
This role guarantees a minimum of 32 hours per week, with the potential for additional hours depending on staffing requirements.

 

Monday is a rostered day off. Remaining hours are worked on a mutually agreed roster, which will generally include:

  • Tuesday: 8:00am – 5:00pm

  • Wednesday: 12:00pm – 8:00pm

  • Thursday: 8:00am – 5:00pm

  • Friday: 8:00am – 5:00pm

  • Saturday: Rotating roster approximately once every 8 weeks (8:00am – 5:00pm)

  • Additional roster flexibility may occasionally be required to support team coverage. 

Applying
If you’re looking for a stable role with a supportive team and opportunities to grow, we’d love to hear from you.
