What makes us special?

We love our bustling, proactive environment where fresh ideas and teamwork shine! You'll be part of a dynamic, expanding team that includes dedicated healthcare professionals providing support for patient wellbeing. Our patients and community are simply the best – warm, loyal, and always appreciative.

We're deeply patient-centric, going the extra mile every day to deliver exceptional care and support the Cooranbong community we adore. If you thrive on building lasting relationships, delivering high-quality treatment, and contributing to a positive, growing practice, this is your opportunity to thrive with us.

The Role: Busy, Rewarding, and Full of Purpose!

As our new Dentist or Oral Health Therapist, you'll be right at the heart of patient care, delivering top-notch clinical services across our welcoming Cooranbong clinic and our exciting mobile operations.

This is a part-time position requiring a commitment of 3 days per week with opportunity to expand for the right candidate.

Key responsibilities include:

• Conducting thorough examinations, accurate diagnoses, and personalised treatment planning with a gentle, truly patient-focused approach.

• Delivering a full range of dental procedures – from preventive care, cleanings, and restorations to more complex treatments (tailored to your scope and experience).

• Hitting the road with our Dental 2 U mobile team for a refreshing change of scenery – providing high-quality care in schools, homes, and aged care facilities.

• Educating patients of all ages on oral health best practices, empowering them with clear, compassionate communication that builds trust and confidence.

• Collaborating closely with our dedicated dentists, oral health therapists, and the broader therapy team (including music therapy and upcoming speech/occupational services) to deliver truly holistic, coordinated care that links oral health with overall wellbeing.

• Proactively sharing your ideas to improve processes, enhance services, and elevate the patient experience – we genuinely celebrate innovation and fresh thinking from every team member!

Who We're Looking For: We're seeking a passionate, skilled clinician who is organized, upbeat, and loves a busy, rewarding environment. Full registration with AHPRA is essential, along with a genuine kindness, reliability, and eagerness to grow alongside us.

Experience in general practice is a plus, but we're most excited about someone who shares our values: excellent clinical standards, strong communication, multitasking ability, and a positive energy that makes patients (and the team) feel at ease. New graduates are welcome to apply – we offer mentorship and support!

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a supportive, fun-loving team in a growing, modern practice.

• Work with amazing patients in the heart of Cooranbong's wonderful community.
