Trainee Dental Assistant- Profile Orthodontics (2 positions)
Profile Orthodontics is a well established specialist orthodontic practice with rooms at Joondalup and Cottesloe.
We have a newly renovated clinic at Joondalup with long serving, highly skilled clinical staff including Orthodontists, Dental Hygienists and Dental Assistants. You can go on a Practice tour and even see what a day for a Dental Assistant is like by watching videos on our Instagram page at https://www.instagram.com/profileorthodontics/ or checking out our website at profileorthodontics.com.au.
Profile Orthodontics has a traineeship programme which has trained a number of Dental Assistants in recent years including those that are new to the workforce and others that have undertaken a career transition from another field. Our latest trainees are now finishing their traineeship and so we are looking to provide similar opportunities to two trainees. Trainees that successfully complete their traineeship will usually continue employment with us as qualified Dental Assistants after completion.
The position, which is full time, will require the successful candidates to undertake a Certificate III- Dental Assisting qualification. This position is suitable for persons not currently formally qualified, but who wish to pursue a career in the dental industry.
The training is delivered 100% on the job with support from Profile staff and a registered training organisation. Profile has developed a structured training programme for this role which ensures that you progress at your own pace with safety mechanisms to ensure that you understand what you are doing and that all areas are covered.
The traineeship involves you undertaking training in dental assisting, but you may also have some exposure to administration and front reception duties.
Your initial training will be undertaken at our Joondalup rooms, but as you gain the necessary skills you will also work at our Cottesloe location from time to time. Our Cottesloe location is a much smaller Practice and so most of your work will be undertaken at Joondalup.
The Practice is fast paced with a high reliance on emerging technologies to treat patients. Whilst you certainly won't be thrown in the deep end and expected to cope without support, the successful applicants will need to demonstrate that they can:
* work under pressure
* be able to multi-task
* have the capacity and aptitude to understand and be able to work with technology
* be able to act professionally and show empathy to patients, many of which are children
If you are looking for an entry level position in the dental industry and feel that you are able to meet the key criteria, please send us your resume and a covering letter addressing why you would be suitable for the role via Seek or directly to ******@profileorthodontics.com.au. Given that applicants will not be experienced in the dental field, you should use your covering letter to convince us why you are the right person for this role.
