Job Description

Here at Lumino, we are made up of a talented team of professionals providing exceptional patient experience and dental care.

With over 120 practices nationwide, we are the heart of every New Zealand community and want to ensure we are providing the highest standard of care to our patients & ongoing support to our team.

Lumino Miramar is looking for Two x Casual Dental Assistants/Receptionists to join our team!

You’ll play a vital role in delivering exceptional patient care, both in the treatment room and at the front desk. You'll support our clinicians during a wide range of procedures, help maintain clinical standards, and be the friendly, organised face patients see when they walk through our doors.

This is a varied and fast-paced role that offers the best of both worlds—clinical hands-on support and patient-facing administration.

Dental Assisting duties:

• Assist clinicians during dental procedures, including X-rays, instrument preparation, and chairside support
• Maintain strict infection control protocols and sterilise instruments to the highest standards
• Prepare treatment rooms and ensure all materials and equipment are ready
• Provide oral health education and assist with post-treatment care advice
• Help manage stock levels and order supplies for seamless day-to-day operations

Reception duties:

• Greet patients with warmth and professionalism, helping them feel at ease
• Manage bookings, phone calls, emails, and day-to-day patient enquiries
• Review medical histories and update patient records accurately
• Process payments, claims, and support front-desk administration
• Maintain a tidy, welcoming reception area and contribute to a smooth patient journey

Qualifications

To be successful in this role, you will bring the following:

• Previous experience as a Dental Assistant would be ideal, but we are willing to fully train the right person!
• Proven experience in reception or customer-facing roles is advantageous.
• Flexibility to help out the team.
• Strong organizational skills and ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment.
• A positive and team-orientated approach to all you do.
• Computer savvy skills with the ability to pick up things quickly.
