Do you want books filled with a range of patients and procedures?
Does the freedom that comes with being a full scope dentist excite or terrify you?
When you see a practice with the latest lab and AI dental tech (or you read about these things) do you instantly think, Yes. I want to play with that, please.
Have you got plans most weekends?
Yes
Excite
YES!
Naturally
Recently, after almost 50 years at our original Yeppoon
site, we had to move. We needed somewhere bigger to accommodate our increasing number of patients, offer more services on-site, and feed our fondness for oral
health gadgetry.
So we’ve moved 3 minutes down the road.
Today Keppel Dental, Yeppoon is a swish, 10-chair oral health hospital with double the capacity of our previous
site and full in-house lab and digital dentistry facilities.
Now we need to fill our hospital with associates and oral health professionals to meet patient demand.
We love that you’re keen. But before you send us your CV and cover letter, we’d love it even more if you took some time to get to know:
If you like what you read—if it leaves you feeling energised, excited and even a little bit nervous-giddy—then that’s a good sign. You should get in touch.
Since Keppel Dental opened its doors in 1977, we’ve worked to deliver the dental health care that the community needs. We’re a genuine, family-run practice, delivering a much-needed service to the families in our area. Many of our staff say that our team has a second family-vibe.
Yeah, yeah, before you think we’re getting too soppy or cliché, we’ll happily acknowledge that family can be lovely.
But they can also drive you nuts. We go through it all. Together.
We work hard to attract dental professionals from all over
Australia, so we can deliver a full scope of care. Residents in Yeppoon and the surrounding areas know that quality dental treatment of any sort is on their doorstep.
Because we put it there.
Patients rely on us to offer a lot. Regular check ups, dental implants, smile makeovers, restorative dental, and everything in between. We aim to provide as much as possible under our roof.
We’re up for that challenge.
So we’ve furnished our practice with the tools and colleagues that help us deliver what our community needs.
Time to sound the cliché claxon again. No two days are ever the same. Really.
Practitioners who work with us either need to be:
Experience has taught us that rural and regional practice is a fast-track for people to build their skills. We’re a practice that will actively encourage you to follow your curiosity.
We have work. And we’re not shy about handing you the opportunities
you need to become the associate you want to be.
What’s good for the patient is good for the business and therefore the provider. We’re driven by providing patients with excellent outcomes and a comfortable experience. This is why we invest in modern dentistry technology and techniques, and take a complete team approach.
Every colleague has a part to play in the patient care journey. Each person is capable and trusted to complete their duties. We deliver efficient, high-quality care to our patients by having clear, collaborative processes. The result? Patients see their treatment plan through with us and they keep coming back.
We’ll always support opportunities to advance your knowledge and skills to the benefit of our patients. Whether it’s through in-house mentoring and training, attending a course, or heading to a conference.
Many of us don’t just work in Yeppoon. We live here too. The people we treat know and trust us. The rapport, friendships, and reputation we’ve built up is precious and we don’t take that for granted.
Being part of Keppel Dental means balancing your ability to work intuitively and independently, with drawing on the strength of the team to achieve the best patient outcomes. We run an open door policy. Colleagues are encouraged to talk to each other, discuss the good and the bad, and ask for assistance without shame or judgement.
All work and no perks makes for a crappy experience. When you spend roughly a third of your life at work, there have got to be some commensurate benefits. Here’s what we offer.
An absolute dream situation would be to find associates who want to live in Yeppoon and work at Keppel Dental forever. (Or if not forever, then a really long time.)
We have an awesome DA and support team, with very low turnover. Building up a rhythm to achieve the dentistry career goals you have is, as far as we can see, very doable.
But that’s the ideal.
We get that regional work isn’t a forever-option for some people. The reality is that most stay for a couple of years and then move on to the next adventure. That’s OK too. We’d still love to make your expertise and experience available to our community.
We live and work in regional Queensland, which is wonderful, but isn’t for everybody. Make sure Yeppoon is right for you.
For the very keen, skip right ahead and see what positions are currently available.
