Below was what our dental assistant, Joy thought of her experience working at Geelong West Dental:

“My name is Joy, and I am a postgraduate student studying a Masters of Medical Imaging at the university of Canberra. I had the privilege of working as a dental assistant at Geelong West Dental for about a year and a half. Through my experience here, I had great opportunity to grow professionally in a healthcare setting. I loved working with experienced dentists and nurses who pushed me towards excellence and who were always willing to provide continuous training and guidance in various areas of dentistry. I have gained confidence in providing quality patient centred care and developed excellent practical and interpersonal skills. I loved working with a team that felt like family, where I always felt welcomed and cared for in an environment that always wanted to see me thrive. Through these experiences, I have not only gained valuable skills which I will always carry with me as I further pursue a profession in the health care industry; but I have also gained valuable friendships and connections."

We encourage both experienced dental assistants and those studying for their Certificate III to apply. More than just clinical skills, we’re looking for a person with the right attitude and who values being part of a team. If that’s you, we would love to hear from you.
