Experienced Dental Assistants

Full-Time Dental Receptionist
Elwood | No Saturdays | Build Something Special

This is not just another reception job.

This is your opportunity to become the heartbeat of a growing dental practice in one of Melbourne’s most sought-after locations.

Attention To Dental is partnering with a progressive, practice in Elwood that is ready to elevate its front-of-house experience — and they are looking for someone who wants more than “just a job.”

They want someone who wants to build with them.

You will be the first impression. The anchor of the day. The calm organiser behind seamless appointments.

This role suits someone who enjoys responsibility, structure and purpose — and who has dental clinical experience that allows them to confidently support the team when required.

You won’t be micromanaged.
You won’t be rushed through chaotic high-volume days.
You won’t be working Saturdays.

You will be part of building a practice properly from the ground up.

• Modern 1-chair clinic within a busy medical centre
• Surrounded by GPs, radiology, pathology and allied health
• Excellent referral environment
• Long-term growth vision
• Two experienced part-time clinicians
• Strong systems and organisation already in place

This practice is small by design — intentional, not accidental.

The focus is quality care, long-term patient relationships and strong team culture.

• Hands‑on and accessible
• Calm decision‑makers
• Clear communicators
• Invested in staff retention
• Committed to professional standards

They understand that strong patient care begins with a supported, respected team.

If you have felt stuck in high‑drama, high‑turnover or chaotic environments — this is different.

This clinic prioritises:

There is real potential here to grow with the practice as it expands.

Work‑life balance is not just discussed — it is practiced.

• An experienced Dental Receptionist wanting a calmer, more intentional environment
• A Senior DA ready to step into a more front‑facing leadership role
• A capable all‑rounder who enjoys both reception and occasional clinical support
• Someone seeking long‑term stability rather than constant change

You must have:

• Proven dental reception experience
• Clinical dental experience (essential for backup support)
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• A desire to contribute to a growing, well‑run clinic

At Attention To Dental, we do not advertise every role. We selectively partner with practices that demonstrate strong leadership, cultural alignment and professional integrity.

We advocate for our candidates, ensure clarity around expectations, and support you through the entire process.

If you are ready to take ownership of a front‑of‑house position where your contribution genuinely matters — this is worth exploring.
