Coastal Dental Care Runaway Bay is co-owned and led by our principal dentist, Dr Will Dear, right in Runaway Bay Centre. We’re part of a dentist-owned network of 18 practices across the Gold Coast, but each practice runs like your local: close relationships with patients and a team that actually knows each other.
This is mostly a Dental Assistant role, chairside most days at our Runaway Bay practice, with one day a week on the front desk covering reception. It’s a casual position, so your roster will flex week to week to suit the practice, with a genuine opportunity to move into full-time hours right from the start. You’ll work closely with Dr Will Dear, the Practice Manager and the wider practice team to keep things running smoothly for our patients.
