Description

A hygiene role where you’re not squeezed into 30 minute appointments.

Most OHT ads promise “full scope” and then hand you a column of back-to-back 30-minute scale and cleans with a dentist checking your work every second patient. That’s not this role.

Allied Dental Victoria Park is three years old, three chairs, fully digital, and growing. We have more hygiene demand than we can currently service, and a recall list that deserves someone who owns it properly. We’re hiring an Oral Health Therapist for Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays to take that on — building their own book and working to the top of their scope while they do it.

About the role

  • 40-minute recall appointments which is time to actually treat, educate and build rapport
  • Working independently without a dedicated DA, so you need to be comfortable running your own surgery but a DA will be available for therapy (treatment) or if you are comfortable working fast with a DA.
  • Seeing new patients for examination and clean, as well as clean-only appointments where the patient has the check up with the dentist.
  • Full scope of practice — this isn’t a prophy-only role – these are scheduled on different days
  • Owning and building the recall program alongside your own growing book
  • Efficient, confident airflow technique as a core part of how you work with comfort in using intraoral scanners.
  • Saturdays matter here: it’s our busiest day for working patients and a genuine growth driver for the practice

About the practice

Victoria Park sits inside the Vic Park shopping centre, just off the Albany Highway strip, with on-site parking and strong passing traffic. Three chairs, fully digital workflow (intraoral scanning, AI-assisted diagnostics), HBF preferred provider, Praktika practice management software.

We’re one of six Allied Dental practices across Perth, backed by a head office in South Perth that handles HR, payroll, marketing and operations so clinicians spend their time on patients, not admin.

Who we’re looking for

  • AHPRA registered Oral Health Therapist
  • Confident working solo which means comfortable setting up, turning over and running your own surgery without a DA
  • Strong, efficient airflow skills, or genuinely keen to master them
  • Works to full scope and wants to keep it that way
  • Takes ownership with a recall list and a growing book reward someone proactive, not someone waiting to be booked and prides themselves on patient rebooking.
  • Keen to keep learning through our internal CPD program

What’s on offer

  • $70–$85 per hour depending on experience
  • Mon, Fri & Sat — consistent, predictable days
  • Internal CPD program and a defined competency and pay progression framework
  • Modern digital practice with head office support behind you
  • On-site parking and an easy commute from most of Perth’s southern and eastern suburbs
