Darlinghurst Dental stands out from all other dental practices. We work as a team to achieve our patient's dental health goals and we want them to be proud of their smile. We use cloud-based technologies, a paperless office, and online bookings so patients can choose their own appointment times. Our practice is modern, spacious, full of light, and beautifully designed with patients and staff in mind.

We are looking for a Dental Assistant (full time, casual or part-time job share) to join our great team primarily during the week, with some occasional half-day Saturdays. We're want someone who takes pride in their work and will go the extra mile to enhance patient experience. We're looking for experienced dental assistants who know what they are doing and are happy to work full time over 4 days (or job share). We see patients from 8am to 6pm weekdays, with occasional late opening to 8pm. So, 4 days is full time. Reception experience an advantage, but not essential.

Do you want to help the patient achieve their dental health goals? Do you want to use the latest technology in dental treatment? Do you want to work in a beautiful dental practice in a fabulous location? If so, then this position is for you - so come work as part of the treatment team to help patients take pride in their smiles.

Interviews will commence on Monday 12th May, and will be held at lunchtime and in the evening. The initial interview will be an online video meeting for 10 minutes with the Principle Dentist and Practice Manager. Successful candidates will progress to a face-to-face meeting at the dental practice. The final candidate will be selected from those that progress to trial.
