Dental Assistants

Orthodontic Dental Assistant

About the Role

Are you a Dental Assistant looking for more than the typical chairside role?

Join Newcastle’s only combined specialist orthodontic and general dental practice, where every day brings variety, learning, and the opportunity to grow.

Unlike a traditional Dental Assistant position, this role gives you exposure to two unique environments within the one practice, a fast-paced, multi-clinician orthodontic setting and a general dental environment.

Our orthodontic team works across multiple clinicians and rooms, creating a dynamic environment where no two days are the same. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety, stays calm under pressure, thinks ahead, and takes pride in connecting with the community we’re privileged to serve.

You will thrive in this role if you are someone who:

• Remains calm and organised when things move quickly
• Can anticipate the needs of clinicians, patients, and teammates
• Enjoys variety and problem-solving rather than repetitive routines
• Takes ownership of their work and approaches challenges with a positive mindset
• Values teamwork, communication, feedback, and delivering an excellent patient experience
• Enjoys building meaningful relationships with patients and families, and values being part of a community practice where generations of patients trust us with their care

Our practice is built on five core values: Integrity, Community, Fun, Excellence, and Teamwork. These values guide the way we care for our patients, support each other, and continue to grow as a team.

If you’re looking for a role where you’ll be supported, challenged, and encouraged to develop your skills while being part of a close-knit team, we’d love to hear from you.
