About Us
At Toowoomba Dental, we're more than just a dental clinic — we're a local, family-run practice where people come first. Dr Michael Baker, with degrees in both Business and Dentistry, personally oversees HR, ensuring transparent, direct, and supportive communication — free from the red tape you'll find in corporate-run practices. Our team reports directly to Michael, creating a warm, friendly environment that's refreshingly simple without a practice manager.
Our philosophy, 'Where your dental health blossoms', reflects our commitment to care, comfort, and clinical excellence for patients of all ages. As our clinic continues to grow, we're on the lookout for passionate individuals who value teamwork, learning, and a positive work environment where both people and careers can flourish.

About the Role
We are currently seeking a full-time Dental Assistant to join our vibrant, growing team. This is a hands-on clinical role supporting our dentists in delivering exceptional care to our patients. The successful candidate will become a familiar face to both our team and our community, helping create a calm, welcoming experience from chairside to sterilisation bay.
You'll be supported with thorough training, but a background in dental assisting or healthcare is preferred. If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced, people-focused environment and is eager to be part of a practice where your contribution truly matters, we'd love to hear from you.
