About you:
- Ideally 5+ years experience as a general dentist in Australia - we are open to less experienced candidates or overseas qualified dentists, however we do have a patient base from a retired dentist and retiring dentist, that needs a confident, capable practitioner.
- Be confident in treatment planning and selling treatment.
- Be able to work independently - there is always support available but having the ability to diagnose, treat and manage patients independently would be a bonus.

- Want to work and are able to proactively seek and complete treatment to grow your books - we have patients waiting and a steady flow of new patients coming into the practice but we need someone who can identify what needs to be done and do it as we try not to refer out of the practice as much as possible.

- Look for opportunities to grow and further develop your skills.
- Work well in a team.
