You will be:
- An experienced Dental Assistant
- Warm, friendly and compassionate
- Organised, reliable and punctual
- Confident working independently within a small team
- Proactive and able to anticipate what needs to happen next
- A clear and professional communicator
- Comfortable using computers and learning new systems

This position would suit an experienced Dental Assistant who takes pride in keeping the clinical day organised, enjoys building relationships with patients and wants to be an important part of a small practice for the long term.
