Summary


During my time dental assisting, I have discovered my personal strengths and admirable qualities not only suit my career choice, but are actually enhanced by it. I can confidently say I thrive in this job role, and see myself staying in Dentistry for my entire career.


I find it extremely fulfilling to be a part of calming, educating and treating patients, and in many cases, altering their life. I enjoy socialising with the general public, and being a part of providing exceptional care.


I also work best in a team, so to find a workplace full of positive, communicative and upbeat people is a priority for me. I live locally, and am looking for part-time work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Fridays (however can be flexible and available one Saturday a month). I am extremely diverse in my role and can interchange between reception work, sterilisation and assisting in all procedures.
