Townsville, Queensland, Australia Abano Healthcare Full time $40,000 - $60,000 per year

Company Description

We are seeking a Dental Assistant/Receptionist to work across our 1300SMILES Belgian Gardens and 1300SMILES North Shore practices. The ideal candidate will have experience in either reception or dental assisting and/or be willing to be trained in both areas.

Why join our team at 1300SMILES Belgian Gardens?

Located just minutes from Townsville's CBD, 1300SMILES Belgian Gardens offers a warm, welcoming environment for both patients and staff. You'll be part of a dedicated, professional team that takes pride in delivering exceptional patient care while supporting each other every step of the way.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a casual dental assistant or receptionist who is looking for flexibility, variety, and the chance to be part of a community-focused practice.

Here's what sets us apart:

  • Flexibility – Enjoy the work-life balance of a casual role with shifts that fit around your lifestyle.
  • People-first culture – We care about your wellbeing both personally and professionally, with support to help you thrive each day.
  • Training and growth – Access industry-leading learning, mentorship, and skill development opportunities to build your career.
  • National support with local heart – Experience the backing of a large dental network while being part of a close-knit, local team.

Job Description

  • Provide clinical chairside assistance and support to the dentist during procedures.
  • Deliver excellent patient care, both in the dental chair and at the reception desk.
  • Maintain strict sterilisation protocols and ensure a clean, hygienic clinical environment.
  • Manage dental stock and supplies, ensuring all equipment is available and in good condition.
  • Perform receptionist duties, including handling patient bookings, enquiries, and managing phone and email communications.
  • Assist with administrative tasks to support smooth practice operations.

Qualifications

  • Willingness to learn – Previous knowledge of dental terminology, procedures, or dental software is a bonus, but not essential. We'll provide training and support to help you grow.
  • Great with details – Strong organisational skills and the ability to multitask will help you thrive in a busy, supportive clinic environment.
  • People-focused – Excellent communication skills and a caring, positive attitude are what matter most when supporting our patients and team.
  • Previous experience as a Dental Assistant or Receptionist is valued, but we're happy to train the right candidate.

Additional Information

Availability for occasional late-night shifts and weekends as required.

For the right candidate, there's an opportunity to transition from casual to full-time employment.
