Front Desk Receptionist

Front Desk Receptionist – Dental Office

Part-Time | Opportunity for Dental Assistant Cross-Training

We are a small, privately owned dental practice looking for a friendly, reliable, and dedicated Front Desk Receptionist to join our close-knit team.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking for a comfortable, flexible part-time position with a healthy work/life balance. We are a small office with only six other employees, so teamwork, communication, and dependability are extremely important to us. We also understand that our employees have lives and responsibilities outside of work, and we strive to be as flexible and accommodating as possible.

About the Position

The primary role will be working at the front desk, with the opportunity to cross-train as a Dental Assistant for the right applicant.

Front desk responsibilities include:

Answering and directing phone calls

Checking patients in and out

Verifying dental insurance benefits

Updating patient medical histories and information

Collecting patient payments

Preparing the office for the following day

Calling patients to confirm upcoming appointments

Preparing and pulling patient charts

Providing friendly and professional customer service

Assisting with general administrative duties as needed

Schedule

Approximately 25–30 hours per week

Generally 7:00 AM–5:00 PM, depending on the final appointment of the day

Hours may vary from week to week and can sometimes be more or less than 25–30 hours

Our doctor also practices at a second location in New York and splits his time between the two offices, so the schedule can fluctuate accordingly

Please note: This position is best suited for someone who appreciates flexibility and does not require a strictly predictable number of hours or biweekly income. While we strive to provide consistent scheduling, the number of hours can vary based on the practice schedule.

Who We’re Looking For

We are willing to train the right person! Previous dental or front-office experience is a plus, but we are more interested in finding someone who is:

Reliable and dependable

Friendly and personable

Comfortable interacting with patients

Organized and detail-oriented

Able to multitask in a busy environment

A strong communicator

Comfortable answering phones and working with patients

Willing to learn and take on additional responsibilities

A team player who enjoys working in a small-office environment

Why Join Our Office?

We are a small, close-knit private practice where you won’t feel like just another employee. Because of the size of our office, scheduling and time-off requests can be very flexible, and we understand that unexpected situations and responsibilities outside of work happen.

This position can be a great fit for someone who:

Wants to work part-time while maintaining a strong work/life balance

Has children or other responsibilities outside of work

Wants a flexible schedule

Enjoys working in a smaller, more personal environment

Is interested in learning dental assisting

We also typically have extended holiday time off, as our doctor spends many major holidays with family in New York.

Benefits

6 paid holidays per year

1 week of PTO after one year

Additional PTO opportunities to be determined

Opportunity for dental assistant cross-training

Flexible scheduling

Small, supportive work environment

If you’re looking for a part-time position where you can become part of a small team, learn new skills, and maintain a healthy balance between work and your personal life, we’d love to hear from you!
