Join SmilesHQ

Oral Health Therapist – Part-Time leading to Full-Time | Warners Bay / Newcastle, NSW

At SmilesHQ, we're more than just a dental practice — we're a modern, innovative team who genuinely love what we do (and enjoy having a laugh along the way). We've built a strong reputation for helping even the most anxious patients feel comfortable, while delivering top-quality care with the latest technology. From children visiting for their very first check-up to adults chasing their dream smile, we make every dental visit a positive experience worth smiling about.

We're now looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Oral Health Therapist to join our growing team. This role starts on a permanent part-time basis (2/3 days per week) with a clear pathway into a full-time, 9-day fortnight role.

  • A passion for children's dentistry and a talent for making nervous patients feel at ease
  • Fantastic communication and interpersonal skills (your patients should feel seen and heard)
  • A flexible, positive, and adaptable approach to working in a fast-paced but supportive team environment

What You'll Be Doing

Your days with us will be rewarding, varied, and always patient-centred. You'll:

  • Carry out comprehensive oral examinations and create tailored treatment plans for paediatric patients and recall adult check ups.
  • Provide preventative care — scaling, polishing, fluoride treatments
  • Deliver non-surgical periodontal therapy
  • Administer local anaesthetic and assist our dentists with restorative treatments
  • Invisalign review and retention
  • Educate patients on oral hygiene and encourage them to stay on track with their care
  • Help kids (and adults) feel comfortable, safe, and even excited to visit the dentist
  • Maintain thorough patient records and ensure compliance with all standards
  • Collaborate with our dedicated dental team to create seamless experiences for every patient

Details

  • Initial start with a PPT 5-day fortnight - Tuesdays, Fridays and alternate Mondays.
  • This will grow into a full time 9-day fortnight role (alternate Tuesdays off)
  • Renumeration $55-65/hr
  • Work days are 8am-5.15pm (Friday 3.30pm finish)
  • Ongoing communication CPD provided and clinical courses covered by negotiation.
