About the Role

As a valued Dental Hygienist or Oral Health Therapist in our premium, city-based practice, you'll play a pivotal role in delivering exceptional care to a diverse and loyal patient base.

Your day-to-day will centre around providing advanced hygiene and periodontal treatments, delivering tailored oral health education, and championing preventive care for patients of all ages. More than just routine care, your clinical expertise will empower patients to take control of their oral health, making a real difference in their long-term wellbeing.

In your day-to-day role, you'll also be meticulously maintaining accurate and detailed clinical records that ensure continuity and quality. You'll also elevate smiles through professional teeth whitening treatments, using the latest industry systems.

Beyond clinical excellence, you'll play a vital role in our recall and retention strategies, reconnecting with long-term patients and reinforcing their commitment to ongoing care within our thriving practice.

Our philosophy is to provide our patients the best possible treatment, using the most up-to-date and proven methods, materials and equipment; with prevention of dental disease as a higher ideal than the actual treatment of it.

• Interested applicants are welcome to participate in an in-clinic observation day, providing a real-time insight into our practice environment, similar to a trial day, but without the administrative formalities.
• Our dentists focus on restorative and complex care, placing complete trust in our hygienists and oral health therapists to lead all preventive and periodontal treatments. Your expertise is not just valued; it's respected and relied upon.
• Genuine recognition, you'll never feel like "just another clinician." You'll be a key part of a friendly, collaborative team where your work is valued, your patients are grateful, and we believe you'll actually enjoy coming to work and being rewarding for the incredible contribution you make.
• With dedicated dental assistants managing all setup, changeovers, and sterilization, you're free to focus entirely on your patients.
• We offer end-of-year bonuses and parties to recognize and reward the hard work and team spirit that drive our success.

• Current registration as a Dental Hygienist or Oral Health Therapist with AHPRA. If you're a new graduate awaiting approval, your pending registration application will be accepted.
• Familiarity with Ultimo software is a bonus, but not a must, we'll provide full training and support to get you up to speed
• You're comfortable working autonomously in your clinical role, while also valuing collaboration and contributing to the success of the wider team.
• You bring a proactive, respectful, and thoughtful approach to every interaction, with patients, colleagues, and support staff alike.
