$30–$40/hr depending on experaince | Supportive Team | Growth + Training | Rockhampton

Casual with pathway to part time/full time

Always thought you'd end up in health, and life took you somewhere else?

Maybe you raised a family first. Maybe you spent years in hospitality, retail or customer service, and you're good at it, but it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere. Maybe you've looked at nursing or allied health and thought, "It's too late to start over," or "I can't afford to stop working and study."

It isn't too late, and you don't have to stop earning.

At A2Z Dental we train you from the ground up, pay you while you learn, and support you through your Certificate III in Dental Assisting. You start building a real career in health from your first week.

Why this suits someone with life experience

The hardest parts of this job can't be taught in a classroom. You need to stay calm when someone is nervous, notice when a patient needs a kind word, and be the person the team knows will turn up and get it done. If you've managed a busy shift, cared for family, calmed an upset customer or kept a household running, you already have those skills. We'll teach you the dentistry.

We hire on character, not qualifications.

This role suits people coming from
Aged care, childcare, hospitality, retail, pharmacy, vet clinics, customer service, or returning to work after raising children. It also suits anyone who has quietly wanted a health career for years or school leavers
