Dental Assistant - Orthodontics (Part Time)

Dental Assistant | Chairside + Front Desk | Part Time Wed & Thu | Orthodontic Practice, South Brisbane

Mars Orthodontics is a modern boutique specialist orthodontic practice at Southpoint, South Brisbane, 1 minute from South Bank train station and 3 minutes from the busway. We're a small, close-knit team with a fully digital workflow: iTero 3D scanning, in-house 3D printing and digital imaging.

The role. Permanent part-time, Wednesdays 9am to 5pm and Thursdays 9am to 7pm (our late evening), around 16 hours a week, with additional shifts regularly offered by agreement and genuine room for your hours to grow. This is a cross-trained position for an experienced DA who is just as confident at the front of house:

• Chairside assisting across orthodontic treatments with our doctors

• iTero scanning, intraoral photos and records

• Sterilisation and infection control to protocol

• Running the front desk on your rostered days: phones, online enquiries, booking, payments and end-of-day reconciliation in Ortho2 Edge

• Stepping chairside as cover when our Senior Dental Assistant is away, so both sides of the practice stay strong

About you

• Certificate III in Dental Assisting, or at least 12 months' chairside experience, essential

• Orthodontic experience highly regarded

• Warm and unflappable with kids, teens and parents

• Reliable on Wednesdays and Thursdays year-round, including Thursday evenings

Why you'll love it here

• $34 to $38 per hour + super, above award, based on experience

• Paid leave as permanent part-time, uniforms, work shoes and laundry allowance provided

• Structured training with written checklists from day one

• Monthly team lunches, because we love good food and good company

• A supportive two-doctor team with real pathways into senior front-office and coordination roles as we grow

To apply, submit your CV through Seek with a short note on your chairside experience, confirming your Wednesday and Thursday availability including Thursday evenings. Applications without dental assisting experience will not be progressed. We reply to every applicant.
