Dental Assistant

About Coastal Dental Care

Coastal Dental Care has looked after Kingscliff families since 1969, from our practice at the Kingscliff Professional Centre on Pearl Street. We’re part of a dentist-owned network of practices across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW, so there’s always a wider team to lean on, but Kingscliff still feels like your local: nine modern surgeries, undercover parking, and a team that’s looked after Kingscliff for decades.

About the role

This is a casual Dental Assistant role at our Kingscliff practice, with up to 30+ hours most weeks for the right person. You’ll work chairside with a new Dentist that is joining the practice. We’re looking for an assistant who’s comfortable in the sterilisation room and confident supporting general dentistry procedures: someone who knows what’s needed and has a desire for patients to receive the best care.

What you’ll be doing

• Assist chairside general restorative procedures
• Run the sterilisation room: clean, package, sterilise, store, and keep accurate digital records
• Set up and turn over treatment rooms, instruments and materials to protocol
• Prepare patients for treatment and help them feel comfortable throughout
• Support with post-operative instructions and patient care after surgical procedures
• Help out at reception when needed, if that’s an area you’ve worked in before

What we’re looking for

Essential

• Experience in sterilisation and infection control protocols
• Experience assisting with implant and/or oral surgery procedures
• Clear, calm communication with patients and the team
• Professional presentation and up-to-date immunisations

Preferred

• Certificate III or IV in Dental Assisting, or working towards one
• Experience in dental reception or front-desk duties (desirable but not necessary)
• Working knowledge of Dental4Windows (D4W)

Why join us?

• Casual role with real room to build to 30+ hours most weeks
• Above-award pay that scales with your qualifications and experience
• Staff Development Days, study clubs, and support to pursue further tertiary qualifications
• Room to pick up extra casual shifts across our wider Gold Coast and Northern NSW network
• Dental discounts for you and your family, plus Employment Hero perks and confidential EAP support
