Below was what our dental assistant, Joy thought of her experience working at Geelong West Dental:

“My name is Joy, and I am a postgraduate student studying a Masters of Medical Imaging at the university of Canberra. I had the privilege of working as a dental assistant at Geelong West Dental for about a year and a half. Through my experience here, I had great opportunity to grow professionally in a healthcare setting. I loved working with experienced dentists and nurses who pushed me towards excellence and who were always willing to provide continuous training and guidance in various areas of dentistry. I have gained confidence in providing quality patient centred care and developed excellent practical and interpersonal skills. I loved working with a team that felt like family, where I always felt welcomed and cared for in an environment that always wanted to see me thrive. Through these experiences, I have not only gained valuable skills which I will always carry with me as I further pursue a profession in the health care industry; but I have also gained valuable friendships and connections."

We encourage both experienced dental assistants and those studying for their Certificate III to apply. Dental students will also be considered if you are a fit for the team. More than just clinical skills, we’re looking for a person with the right attitude and who values being part of a team. If that’s you, we would love to hear from you.
