Job Description

Patient Care Coordinator / Dental Assistant Floater

Love working with people but want more than sitting at a desk all day?

We’re looking for a friendly, dependable, motivated person to join our one-doctor dental practice as a Front Desk Patient Care Coordinator / Dental Assistant Floater. This is a great position for someone who enjoys the front office but also wants to learn the clinical side of dentistry and be involved with the entire patient experience. You’ll spend part of your day at the front desk and part of your day helping in the back. No dental assisting experience is required—we are willing to train the right person.

We are a busy, established, concierge-style practice just minutes from downtown Austin. We take great pride in our patient care, our work, and having a team that enjoys working together.

At the Front Desk, You Will:

• Welcome and take care of our patients from the moment they walk in
• Answer phones and help patients with questions
• Schedule appointments and keep the doctor’s schedule running smoothly
• Discuss treatment and help patients move forward with care
• Verify insurance and assist with insurance claims
• Follow up with patients who have unscheduled treatment
• Keep the front office organized and running efficiently

In the Back, You Will:

• Help turn over and prepare treatment rooms
• Clean and sterilize instruments
• Assist the doctor and clinical team
• Help keep the clinical area stocked and organized
• Learn dental assisting skills and become comfortable working chairside

The Person We're Looking For

• You don't have to know everything—we can teach you dentistry. We do need someone who is willing to learn and wants to be good at what they do.
• Friendly, professional, and comfortable talking with patients.
• Dependable and organized.
• A good communicator.
• Comfortable learning new things.
• Someone who notices what needs to be done and does it.
• Able to move easily between the front and back of the office.
• A team player who is willing to jump in wherever needed.
• Interested in building a long-term career in dentistry.
• Previous dental front office or dental assisting experience is a plus, but the right attitude and personality are more important to us.

What We Offer

• 35–40 hour work week
• Competitive pay based on experience
• Health insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• Very generous vacation policy
• Great work-life balance
• One-doctor practice with a close-knit team
• A professional, positive, drama-free work environment
• Opportunity to learn both the business and clinical sides of dentistry

If you're looking for more than just a job and want to become an important part of a great dental team, we'd love to meet you. Apply today—we're looking for someone who wants to stay, grow, and become part of our practice.
