We’re proud of our reputation in the local area as a clinic that listens, cares, and delivers smiles people trust.

The Role: Dental Receptionist

You won’t just “take calls.” You’ll be the heart of first impressions, the calm in the appointment storm, the smiling voice patients rely on.

Your Day Might Include:

• Greeting patients (in person & by phone) with warmth, professionalism, calm
• Managing a busy appointment book — scheduling, rescheduling, handling emergencies
• Guiding patients through fees, health funds, payment plans, and billing
• Ensuring accurate, up-to-date patient records and treatment notes
• Proactively coordinating patient flow with clinicians to avoid downtime
• Following up with recalls, reminders, feedback calls
• Light admin: ordering supplies, daily reports, correspondence
• Being the “bridge” between patients and the clinical team — anticipate, communicate, smooth out friction

What You Bring to the Table

• You’re genuinely warm, empathetic, and enjoy interacting with people
• Organised and able to juggle multiple tasks under pressure
• You’ve got experience (ideally in a dental/medical/clinic environment)
• Comfortable with financials, billing, office systems
• Tech-savvy: able to pick up practice software, digital scheduling, office tools
• You take ownership — see a problem, fix it
• Integrity, professionalism, reliability — you treat patient confidence as sacred

What You’ll Love About Us

• You matter: you are not “just admin” — you’re part of delivering patient care
• Growth path: high performers may progress into leadership, marketing, or practice management
• Modern, well-equipped workplace & tools
• Flexible scheduling, good support
• Be part of the community: we serve families, local residents, and you’ll often meet the same people
• Competitive remuneration + performance incentives
