Dental Assistant (Trainee)

We are seeking a motivated and committed individual looking to start their career as a Dental Assistant, to join our small, friendly team at a well-established, modern general dental practice, conveniently located in central Mornington.  

Your primary duties will be:

• setting up the surgery for procedures
• assisting the dentist chair-side
• Infection control and instrument sterilization
• managing stock and maintenance of equipment

A Traineeship will be offered on a full-time basis (38 hours/week) Monday to Friday including time to study/attend TAFE as required until the completion of your course (typically within 12 months). An ongoing position may then be negotiated.

(Note, experienced/certified Dental Assistants also welcome to apply but would initially be hired on a casual basis, typically 32-36 hours per week (with some flexibility) with option to move to part-time later if desired.

The successful applicant will need to be:

• enthusiastic & eager to learn
• friendly & caring
• polite & well presented
• punctual & reliable
• responsible & adaptable

Dental experience is not essential as we will provide on-the-job training in a wide range of dental procedures/surgery (and support you through studying for a Certificate III Dental Assisting qualification).
