"When I started, I knew almost nothing about orthodontics, but with great support and coaching from the team, I quickly built my confidence and skills. I see every consultation as an opportunity to build a genuine connection and make someone feel welcome and excited about their journey. This role has made me a stronger communicator, a better listener and a more confident problem solver. My advice?

Any Questions?
We’ve Got You!

What kinds of roles does Smile Partners hire for?

We hire across our practices and head office – including practice managers, treatment coordinators, dental assistants, sterilisation technicians, oral health therapists, hygienists, receptionists, and head office specialists in marketing, operations, finance, HR, IT, and clinical support. If you’re passionate about healthcare and great patient care, there’s likely a place for you.

What's it like to work at Smile Partners?

Each of our practices keeps its own local identity, team and community feel – so day-to-day, you join a tight-knit local team. Behind that, you have the support, training and career pathways of a national group. It’s the best of both worlds: local culture, national backing.

Do you offer training and career progression?

Yes. We have structured onboarding, ongoing in-practice training, and a growing leadership development program. Many of our practice managers and senior leaders started in clinical support or front-of-house roles. We promote from within wherever we can.

Do I need orthodontic experience to apply?

Not always. We hire from across dental and broader healthcare, and we welcome strong candidates from outside the industry for roles where transferable skills are what matter (e.g. practice management, marketing, customer experience). For clinical roles, relevant qualifications and AHPRA registration are required.

Where are your practices and head office based?

We have 40+ practices across Australia and New Zealand, including locations in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, regional Victoria and Wellington (NZ). Our support office is based in North Sydney, with hybrid working in place.
