Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia Toowoomba Dental Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

About Us

At Toowoomba Dental, we're more than just a dental clinic — we're a local, family-run practice where people come first. Dr Michael Baker, with degrees in both Business and Dentistry, personally oversees HR, ensuring transparent, direct, and supportive communication — free from the red tape you'll find in corporate-run practices. Our team reports directly to Michael, creating a warm, friendly environment that's refreshingly simple without a practice manager.

Our philosophy, 'Where your dental health blossoms', reflects our commitment to care, comfort, and clinical excellence for patients of all ages. As our clinic continues to grow, we're on the lookout for passionate individuals who value teamwork, learning, and a positive work environment where both people and careers can flourish.


About the Role

We are currently seeking a full-time Dental Assistant to join our vibrant, growing team. This is a hands-on clinical role supporting our dentists in delivering exceptional care to our patients. The successful candidate will become a familiar face to both our team and our community, helping create a calm, welcoming experience from chairside to sterilisation bay.

You'll be supported with thorough training, but a background in dental assisting or healthcare is preferred. If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced, people-focused environment and is eager to be part of a practice where your contribution truly matters, we'd love to hear from you.


Why Work With Us?

At Toowoomba Dental, you'll enjoy a range of benefits that support both your professional development and daily wellbeing:

  • Healthcare Perks: Free 6-month check-ups and cleans while employed
  • No Middle Management: Report directly to Dr Michael Baker
  • Daily Coffee Fix: Enjoy barista-quality coffee on us (no instant coffee here)
  • Holiday Breaks: Two weeks off over the Christmas/New Year period GUARANTEED
  • Weekend Freedom: No weekend work required — ever
  • Fun & Connection: Social events throughout the year
  • Stylish Scrubs: High-quality, comfy uniforms (we wear pink scrubs on Thursdays)
  • Regular Days Off: 8.5-days, 76-hour fortnight with 1.5 rostered days off
  • Modern Tech: Work with the latest dental technology
  • Balanced Hours: Only one late shift per week (Thursdays until 6:30pm)

Skills and Experience

We're looking for someone with:

  • A warm, caring demeanour and the ability to help patients feel at ease
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills, along with the ability to work independently
  • Attention to detail and a high standard of infection control
  • Good computer skills (Word, Outlook, Excel) — experience with EXACT patient management software is a bonus
  • Confidence assisting with general, cosmetic, and restorative dental procedures
  • Familiarity with dental terminology and anatomy
  • Well-groomed presentation and a "can-do" attitude
  • The ability to stay organised, calm, and efficient in a busy clinic environment
  • At least 12 months' experience in a clinical or dental setting preferred
