ORAL HEALTH THERAPIST / DENTAL HYGIENIST
FULL-TIME | FREE ACCOMMODATION | RELOCATION ASSISTANCE | FULL PATIENT BOOKS
READY FOR A CAREER MOVE THAT OFFERS MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER JOB?
Imagine finishing work and heading down to the river, exploring beautiful forests on the weekend, enjoying a coffee in a charming country town, or simply coming home knowing you don’t have to worry about paying rent.
At Bridgetown Dental Centre, we’re offering an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic Oral Health Therapist or Dental Hygienist to join our busy, established dental practice in one of Western Australia’s most beautiful regional towns.
We’re not asking you to build a patient book from scratch. We already have the patients waiting for you!
With approximately 10 years of established practice operations, strong patient demand, free accommodation, and relocation assistance, this is an exceptional opportunity to advance your career while enjoying a rewarding lifestyle.
Whether you’re an experienced clinician looking for a change of scenery or a recent graduate ready to begin your career, we’d love to hear from you.
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY IS DIFFERENT
1. WALK INTO AN ESTABLISHED, BUSY PATIENT BOOK
Forget spending months trying to build your appointment book.
Bridgetown Dental Centre has been operating for approximately 10 years and has developed a loyal patient base with strong ongoing demand for preventive dental care.
Our hygiene and oral health therapy appointments are consistently in high demand, meaning you’ll have the opportunity to step into an established clinical schedule from the beginning.
What this means for you:
An established patient base ready for your arrival.
Strong demand for hygiene and preventive appointments.
A busy and rewarding clinical environment.
Opportunities to develop long-term relationships with patients.
A supportive practice that values preventive dentistry.
The satisfaction of making a genuine difference to oral health in a regional community.
You’ll be joining a practice where your skills are genuinely needed, your appointment book is already in demand, and your contribution will be valued.
2. FREE ACCOMMODATION: KEEP MORE OF WHAT YOU EARN!
Yes, you read that correctly. We’re offering FREE accommodation as part of your employment package!
One of the biggest expenses associated with relocating or working in a new town is accommodation.
We’re helping remove that financial burden.
Rather than spending hundreds of dollars each week on rent, you’ll have the opportunity to save more of your income, build your financial future, or simply enjoy a better quality of life.
Whether you’re saving for your first home, paying down a student loan, building your investments, or planning your next adventure, free accommodation can make a significant difference.
No weekly rent. Less financial pressure. More freedom to enjoy life.
Accommodation details and arrangements will be discussed with successful applicants.
3. RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PROVIDED
Moving to a new town should be exciting, not stressful.
We understand that relocating involves planning, expenses, and a little uncertainty.
That’s why we’re offering relocation assistance to help make your transition to Bridgetown as smooth as possible.
We’re happy to discuss your individual circumstances and how we can assist you in getting settled.
Whether you’re moving from Perth, another part of Western Australia, or interstate, we want you to feel welcome and supported.
4. LIVE SOMEWHERE PEOPLE VISIT FOR THEIR HOLIDAYS
Bridgetown isn’t just somewhere to work. It’s somewhere to enjoy life.
Located in the picturesque South West of Western Australia, Bridgetown is known for its rolling green hills, beautiful Blackwood River, charming country streets, and stunning seasonal scenery.
The town is particularly beautiful during autumn, when its deciduous trees transform into vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold.
Spring brings fresh greenery, flowering gardens, and beautiful countryside.
It’s a place where you can genuinely enjoy all four seasons.
Imagine having the following right on your doorstep:
🌿 Beautiful countryside: Rolling hills, forests, picturesque farmland, and peaceful country roads.
🚣 The Blackwood River: Enjoy kayaking, fishing, riverside walks, and relaxing afternoons by the water.
🚵 Mountain biking and hiking: Explore local trails, nearby forests, and some of the South West’s most beautiful natural landscapes.
🏕️ Camping and outdoor adventures: Spend your weekends exploring national parks, forests, and the wider South West.
☕ Charming cafés and local businesses: Enjoy the friendly atmosphere of a welcoming regional community.
🍷 Wineries and local produce: Discover the food, wine, and attractions of the South West.
🍂 Spectacular autumn colours: Experience the beautiful seasonal transformation of Bridgetown’s deciduous trees.
🌊 Weekend escapes: Explore the beaches, coastal towns, and attractions of Western Australia’s magnificent South West.
And perhaps the best part?
You can enjoy all of this without the traffic, congestion, and expensive rental market of a major city.
Bridgetown offers the opportunity to slow down outside work while maintaining a busy and professionally rewarding clinical career.
ABOUT BRIDGETOWN DENTAL CENTRE
Bridgetown Dental Centre is an established dental practice serving Bridgetown and the surrounding communities.
For approximately a decade, our clinic has provided dental care to the region, developing strong relationships with patients and a reputation for accessible, comprehensive dentistry.
We’re a busy practice with a growing patient base and a genuine need for a dedicated Oral Health Therapist or Dental Hygienist.
Our goal is to provide high-quality dental care in a welcoming, professional environment while supporting our clinicians in delivering excellent patient outcomes.
We believe that preventive dentistry is fundamental to long-term oral health, and we recognise the important role that Oral Health Therapists and Dental Hygienists play in our practice.
We’re looking for someone who wants to become an important part of our clinical team, rather than simply fill a position.
YOUR CLINICAL ENVIRONMENT
You’ll be working in an established dental practice with:
A dedicated patient base and strong appointment demand.
EMS AIRFLOW technology for preventive and periodontal care.
An established sterilisation and infection-control workflow.
A dedicated sterilisation nurse to assist with instrument processing.
A team that values quality dentistry and patient education.
Opportunities to develop your clinical confidence and professional skills.
Please note: This role does not currently include a dedicated chairside dental assistant. However, a sterilisation nurse is available to support sterilisation workflows, and additional dental assisting support may be considered as the role and practice develop.
We believe in being transparent about the working environment so that you can make an informed decision.

Position: Oral Health Therapist / Dental Hygienist
Employment: Full-time
Hours: Approximately 36–38 hours per week (4 days 8am – 6pm)

Periodontal assessments, monitoring, and patient education.
Oral hygiene instruction and individualised preventive care.
Supporting patients in maintaining excellent long-term oral health.
Working collaboratively with our dentists and clinical team.
Providing a welcoming, professional, and positive experience for every patient.
Maintaining accurate clinical records and appropriate infection-control standards.
Delivering additional treatments within your qualifications, registration, and professional scope of practice.
We value clinicians who take pride in their work, enjoy communicating with patients, and believe in providing thorough, high-quality care.
NEW GRADUATES ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY!
Are you finishing your Oral Health Therapy or Dental Hygiene qualification and wondering where to begin your career?
Consider starting somewhere that offers both professional opportunity and financial breathing room.
At Bridgetown Dental Centre, you’ll have access to an established patient base, a busy clinical environment, and the opportunity to build your confidence through regular patient care.
You’ll also have the chance to experience a wide variety of clinical presentations within a regional community.
We understand that transitioning from university into clinical practice is an important step, and we’re looking for someone enthusiastic about learning and developing their skills.
The combination of full-time employment, free accommodation, and relocation assistance makes this an especially attractive opportunity for a recent graduate.
Rather than spending a large portion of your income on rent, you could focus on building your savings, developing professionally, and enjoying your new surroundings.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We’re searching for someone who is:
Qualified as an Oral Health Therapist or Dental Hygienist.
Registered with AHPRA, or eligible for registration before commencing employment.
Friendly, approachable, and enthusiastic about patient care.
Passionate about preventive dentistry and oral health education.
Confident working independently within their professional scope.
Organised, reliable, and committed to high clinical standards.
Comfortable working in a busy, established practice.
Interested in becoming part of a welcoming regional community.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who enjoys dentistry and wants to make a positive contribution to the patients they treat.
Both experienced clinicians and new graduates are welcome to apply.
💰 A CAREER MOVE THAT MAKES FINANCIAL SENSE
A good salary is important, but what you keep at the end of the week matters just as much.
When considering your next position, think about the complete package.
At Bridgetown Dental Centre, we’re offering:
Competitive hourly remuneration.
Approximately 36–38 hours of employment each week.
FREE accommodation.
Relocation assistance.
An established patient book.
Strong demand for preventive dental services.
An attractive regional lifestyle.
The opportunity to develop your career in a busy clinical environment.
For someone looking to build their savings, purchase a home, or simply enjoy greater financial flexibility, this could be a valuable opportunity.
And unlike positions where you’re expected to develop your own patient base, our established practice already has patients waiting for appointments.
IMAGINE YOUR LIFE IN BRIDGETOWN
Picture a typical week.
You spend your working days helping patients, developing your clinical skills, and building meaningful relationships with people in the community.
After work, you can enjoy a peaceful walk beside the Blackwood River, head out for a bike ride, or relax in the beautiful countryside.
On your days off, you might explore nearby forests, visit a winery, take a weekend trip to the coast, or simply enjoy the slower pace of country living.
There’s no long city commute, no constant traffic, and no weekly rental payment to worry about under the accommodation package.
It’s an opportunity to build a rewarding career without putting the rest of your life on hold.
For the right person, Bridgetown could become much more than a temporary employment destination.
It could become home.
