A welcoming, patient-focused dental practice seeks a dedicated, skilled Dental Hygienist / Oral Health Therapist to join their exceptional team. With a strong commitment to excellence, ongoing learning, and high-quality patient care, this role offers the perfect environment for personal and professional growth.

Why This Role Stands Out

This opportunity goes beyond just a job—it’s a chance to be part of a team that values its people as much as its patients. The practice’s outstanding reputation and continual growth, driven by word of mouth, reflects its commitment to delivering exceptional care.

Here’s why this position is an excellent choice for a passionate Oral Health Therapist:

Flexibility in Role: The position involves 70% hygiene and 30% therapy, with the opportunity to increase the therapy ratio for those interested in orthodontics. Alternatively, candidates can opt for a solely hygiene-focused role, with therapy appointments handled by other practitioners.

Excellent Support System: You will have a dedicated dental assistant to support you and manage room setup, changeover, and sterilisation, so you can focus on delivering exceptional care.

Competitive Remuneration: Earn $55–70 per hour, reflecting skills and experience.

Life Balance: Enjoy a four-day workweek (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) with consistent hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

Great Location: Explore the far north, Mareeba is a lifestyle town well known for its coffee and wine, rainforests, markets and great weather and is only 45 minutes from Cairns with its international airport and attractions.

Advanced Tools and Techniques: Use state-of-the-art equipment, such as Piezo and Cavitron ultrasonics, Airflow, The Wand, Laser, and more, to ensure the best outcomes for patients.

Accommodation Available to Rent: Ideal for those relocating or seeking convenient housing close to work, a well-presented 3-bedroom home in the premier residential area of Mareeba is available to rent.

Uniforms Provided: Start each day prepared with professional attire supplied and laundered by the practice.

Culture of Excellence and Growth: The team believes in constant improvement, taking pride in their work, and always striving for the best outcomes.

What the Role Involves

Performing hygiene and therapy treatments, including restorative care, periodontal management, and preventive treatments.

Delivering exceptional care for new and existing patients, including comprehensive exams, radiographs, periodontal charting, and oral hygiene education.

Supporting orthodontic cases with tasks such as bonding aligner attachments and indirect bonding of brackets within scope.

Provide implant maintenance and manage referrals for advanced treatments as needed.

What the Practice Stands For

This practice is built on core values that ensure both patients and team members feel respected and supported:

Excellence: Commitment to excellence in care, materials, and techniques.

Growth: A culture of continuous learning and personal growth.

Respect and Kindness: Treating everyone with empathy, courtesy, and understanding.

Accountability: Taking responsibility for actions, addressing mistakes, and fostering trust.

What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate is someone who shares these values and is ready to thrive in a collaborative, patient-centred environment;

Someone who genuinely enjoys helping patients improve their oral health and takes pride in providing first-class care.

Team oriented who communicates openly and collaborates to support colleagues and create a positive environment.

Naturally organised and attentive to details, with a proactive approach to staying up to date with the latest in dentistry.

A compassionate professional who builds trust and connection with patients, making them feel comfortable and cared for during every visit.

Be Part of a Team That Supports You

Joining this practice means being part of a friendly, all-female team of professionals who prioritise kindness, respect, and collaboration. Socialising outside work strengthens camaraderie and enhances the supportive work culture.

This is the perfect opportunity if you’re an Oral Health Therapist looking for a long-term role in a supportive and patient-focused environment.
