Join the team at Art of Dentistry, Prestwick

At Art of Dentistry, we believe an exceptional patient experience begins long before a patient enters the treatment room.

We are looking for a warm, polished and highly personable Front of House Receptionist to become one of the first faces our patients see when they visit our private dental practice in Prestwick.

This is more than a traditional reception role. You'll play an important part in creating the welcoming, professional and personal experience our patients expect, taking ownership of their journey from their initial enquiry through to their visit and beyond.

This is a fixed-term role and we're open to discussing full-time or part-time hours for the right person, and the role is offered at £15+ per hour, depending on experience.

About Art of Dentistry

Located in the beautiful coastal town of Prestwick, Art of Dentistry is an established private dental practice providing advanced cosmetic, restorative and general dentistry within a modern and professional clinical environment.

Our patients choose us not only for the quality of their treatment, but for the experience and personal service they receive throughout their journey with us.

That's where you come in.

The Role

You'll be at the heart of our Front of House, ensuring every patient receives a warm welcome and an exceptional level of service.

No two days will be exactly the same, but your responsibilities will include:

• Welcoming patients warmly and helping them feel comfortable and looked after from the moment they arrive

• Creating a professional, calm and inviting Front of House environment

• Managing patient enquiries in person, by telephone and through email

• Coordinating appointments and maintaining well-organised clinician diaries

• Managing patient check-in and check-out and ensuring their journey through the practice runs smoothly

• Building positive relationships with patients and providing a highly personalised level of service

• Processing payments and supporting patients with general queries

• Maintaining accurate and confidential patient records

• Working closely with our clinicians and nursing team to coordinate patient care and ensure excellent communication

• Proactively following up with patients where appropriate

• Taking ownership of patient queries and helping resolve concerns professionally and sensitively

• Ensuring the reception and patient areas are beautifully presented and reflect the standards of our private practice

• Supporting general administration and the wider day-to-day running of the practice

About You

For this role, personality and approach to customer service are just as important to us as experience.

You'll be someone who genuinely enjoys working with people and understands the difference that thoughtful, attentive service can make.

We'd love to hear from you if you:

• Have a naturally warm, friendly and professional manner

• Take pride in delivering exceptional customer service

• Are confident communicating with people both face-to-face and over the telephone

• Have excellent organisational skills and strong attention to detail

• Are comfortable managing several priorities while remaining calm and composed

• Enjoy taking ownership and using your initiative

• Have a polished and professional approach

• Work well as part of a close-knit team

• Are confident using IT and administrative systems

Previous experience within a dental or healthcare setting would be welcomed, but we're also keen to hear from candidates with a strong hospitality, luxury retail, customer service or other premium Front of House background who have the right approach and are keen to learn.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to bring your customer service skills into a professional private healthcare environment where the patient experience really matters.

You'll become part of a friendly team, have the opportunity to learn more about private and cosmetic dentistry, and play a genuine role in shaping the experience our patients have at Art of Dentistry.

If you're someone who loves making people feel welcome, remembers the little details and takes pride in delivering brilliant service, we'd love to hear from you.
