Dental Assistant - Build your career!

At Maven Dental Busselton, we believe dental assisting is more than simply setting up a surgery, passing instruments and cleaning down between patients.

It is a skilled and important part of the clinical team and we want to help you become exceptional at it.

Whether you are an experienced Dental Assistant or are looking to take the next step in your dental career, this is an opportunity to develop your skills, build your confidence and become a valued member of our team.

As a Dental Assistant at Maven Dental Busselton, you'll work closely with our clinicians and wider practice team to help deliver a positive experience for every patient.

You'll learn how to:

• Prepare surgeries and equipment for a range of procedures
• Anticipate what your clinician needs throughout treatment
• Provide effective four-handed dentistry
• Maintain high standards of infection prevention and instrument reprocessing
• Support patients throughout their appointments
• Keep clinical areas organised and running efficiently
• Understand the procedures you're assisting with, not just the tasks involved
• Contribute to a positive and supportive team environment

We want you to understand the why, not just the how.

Your first 90 days:

Starting a new role can be overwhelming, particularly if you're new to a practice. That's why we'll support you through a structured onboarding process, including:

• Regular check-ins 
• Practical clinical training
• Educational resources and videos
• Support from experienced dental professionals
• Opportunities to learn about different areas of dentistry
• Clear expectations and regular feedback

Our goal is to help you feel confident, supported and part of the team.

We're looking for someone who:

• Wants to build a long-term career in dental assisting
• Enjoys working as part of a clinical team
• Is reliable, organised and willing to learn
• Takes pride in providing great patient care
• Is curious and isn't afraid to ask questions
• Responds positively to feedback
• Wants to continually develop their dental assisting skills
• Understands the importance of infection control and clinical standards
• Can remain calm and professional in a busy practice

Previous dental experience or a dental assisting qualification is highly regarded, but attitude, reliability and a willingness to learn are equally important. Support is available for the right person who is beginning their dental assisting career.

What does success look like?

Success isn't simply about getting through your daily checklist.

It's becoming the Dental Assistant who:

• Knows what the clinician needs before they ask
• Understands what's happening during different procedures
• Makes patients feel comfortable and supported
• Maintains excellent clinical and infection-control standards
• Helps appointments run smoothly
• Takes pride in their work
• Continues to learn and develop
• Becomes someone the clinical team can genuinely rely on

Why Maven Dental Busselton?

At Maven Dental Busselton, we want Dental Assistants to feel valued, supported and, most importantly, to have something worth staying for.

We believe dental assisting can be a skilled, respected and rewarding career in its own right, not simply a stepping stone to another role. Our goal is to help you build your skills, grow your confidence and discover where a career in dental assisting could take you.

You may not know exactly what type of Dental Assistant you want to become yet and that's completely fine.

We're here to help you discover it.

Success doesn't have to mean moving on from dental assisting. It could mean becoming the person who knows their clinicians, understands their procedures, supports their patients and becomes highly skilled in their craft.

You may simply decide:

“I want to be a Dental Assistant, and I want to become exceptional at it.”

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!
