Role

Our practice is growing, and we are looking for a Dental Assistant to join our busy team at Lakes Care Dental in Rotorua. With a fully booked schedule and a consistently high demand for our services, we are looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is ready to hit the ground running.

We are seeking for a full time (4-5 days/week, 8am - 4.30pm, Mon-Fri) team player to join our talented and hardworking team. We are looking for someone with good work ethics who is flexible and eager to learn. As we operate in a healthcare environment, a degree of flexibility with working hours and finishing times is essential to accommodate patient needs and the day-to-day demands of a busy dental practice. We are looking for someone who is compassionate, adaptable, and genuinely patient-focused, understanding that patient care and wellbeing must remain a priority.

You will provide chairside clinical assistance to the dentist when he/she is performing dental procedures. You will also be requested to relieve/support reception and the team when needed. Previous reception/admin experience will be an advantage. Dental assistance experience is ideal but not required as we are prepared to train a person who is eager to learn and that has had any experience in the health care industry. This is a physically active role, so applicants should be comfortable with the physical demands of the position (at times and may involve being on your feet for extended periods of time, moving equipment, and performing repetitive tasks).

• Ideally previous Administration experience/knowledge of Exact Dental software

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment
