• Maintaining high infection control and clinical standards
• Helping create a calm and welcoming experience for patients
• Supporting the wider team wherever needed

Essential:

• Qualification and/or experience in Dental Assisting
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Sound knowledge of infection control within a dental setting

Dentistry can be fast-paced, so we highly value people who communicate well, support their teammates, and step in to help wherever needed.

An exceptional dental assistant is someone who becomes completely in sync with their clinician — understanding what their dentist needs before they even have to ask.
