We are seeking Dental Therapist for Position 00000143 based out of the Karratha Dental Therapy Centre and Positon 00000132 based out of the Baynton West Dental Therapy Centre in Karratha. 

The successful Dental Therapist will provide routine dental care for enrolled children in our School Dental Therapy Centres. You will be responsible for maintaining patient records in accordance with Dental Health Services policies and giving guidance to Dental Clinic Assistants.

Location

Karratha, located 1253km north of Perth, is one of the largest and fastest growing towns in the north. Known predominantly for its contribution to the mining industry, the natural beauty here was once overlooked. Adjoining the port of Dampier you are just a hop away from the Dampier Archipelago - one of the best kept snorkelling and diving secrets with 42 islands and islets to explore in an expansive 45 km radius! If you are more comfortable on land you have fresh water swimming holes, gorges and 4WD tracks to occupy you.

It's central location also makes it the ideal base for exploring other natural delights such as the Karijini National Park, with 100 metre chasms and a 1,235-metre high mountain four billion years old. Or a walk along the Jaburara Trail to uncover the largest collection of Aboriginal rock engravings on the planet. Not to mention the proximity to the iconic Ningaloo Reef. 

Karratha has all the amenities of any up and coming city, without compromising on the nature around.
