We seek a highly organised Dental Surgery Assistant to join our friendly, specialist team. Attention to detail, cleanliness, and a tidy, professional approach are must-haves for success in this role.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Chairside assistance during endodontic procedures
  • Preparing and maintaining instruments, equipment, and surgery setup
  • Maintaining cross-infection control standards
  • Managing dental stock and supplies
  • Supporting a calm and professional patient experience

What We’re Looking For:

  • Previous experience as a dental assistant is an advantage (endodontic or surgical experience even more so), although training can be provided for the right candidate.
  • NZDA Certificate in Dental Assisting or similar (preferred but not essential)
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills
  • A high standard of hygiene, presentation, and a great attitude
  • Current NZ driver’s licence
