We are looking for a friendly, reliable, and adaptable Casual Dental Assistant/Receptionist to join our team at Lumino Whangarei.
This varied role combines front-of-house reception duties with chairside dental assisting support with some front-of-house reception, making it an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with people and thrives in a fast-paced healthcare environment. As a casual team member, you'll provide support where needed, helping to ensure our patients receive an outstanding experience from the moment they walk through our doors.
Key responsibilities include:
- Supporting clinicians during a variety of dental procedures
- Preparing treatment rooms and assisting with infection control procedures
- Sterilising instruments and maintaining a clean clinical environment
- Updating patient records and completing administrative tasks accurately
- Working collaboratively with the wider team to ensure the smooth operation of the practice
- Greeting and welcoming patients in a warm and professional manner
- Managing appointments, phone calls, emails, and patient enquiries
To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:
- Previous dental assisting experience is advantageous but not essential
- Previous reception, administration, or customer service experience
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn
- The ability to work well independently and as part of a team
- Confidence using computer systems and learning new technology
- A reliable, flexible, and professional approach to work
- Valid New Zealand work rights
- The ability to commute easily to Whangarei or be based locally
At Lumino, we are committed to investing in our people and creating a positive workplace culture. You'll be supported by an experienced team, receive comprehensive on-the-job training, and gain valuable experience within New Zealand's leading dental network.
While this is initially a casual position, there is an exciting opportunity for the role to become permanent full-time in early 2027, subject to business needs. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a long-term career with Lumino.
