Roles & Responsibilities

ONLY SINGAPOREAN & PR TO APPLY as we do not have quotas for WP/S pass.

Elevate Dental is a patient-centred dental practice in Novena Medical Centre focused on thoughtful, comprehensive care that balances aesthetics, function, and long-term oral health in a warm, professional environment.

Job Summary

Join Elevate Dental as a Dental Receptionist cum Dental Assistant, rotating between reception and clinical duties depending on clinic's daily schedule and operational needs to support smooth operations and deliver excellent patient care in a growing, flexible team.

You will generally focus on one function at a time rather than being expected to handle reception and chairside assisting simultaneously.

Cross-training is an important part of this role. We want every team member to become comfortable supporting both the front desk and clinical operations, so that the clinic can continue to run smoothly when team members are on leave, during busy periods or when additional support is needed.
