£15 - £17 per hour
Expiry date:16 Jul 2025
Start date:17 Apr 2025
NEW Dental Nurse Opportunity – A Role to Grow Into, A Team to Grow With - Up to £17 per hour - Soho, London Area

Are you a motivated, hands-on Dental Nurse looking for a role where your contribution genuinely makes a difference? Would you thrive in a practice that values teamwork, initiative, and continuous learning? If so, we’d love to welcome you to our friendly and professional team.

We are excited to offer a permanent opportunity for a skilled and enthusiastic Dental Nurse to support a new dentist who is just starting to build their patient list. This is your chance to be part of something from the very beginning — to grow alongside the dentist and take pride in helping shape their journey in the practice.

This role will initially be part-time (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) from 8:30am – 5:30pm, with the clear potential for more days as the patient base expands. You’ll play a key role in ensuring that both patients and clinicians are supported in delivering exceptional care.

Position Details:
  • Job Title: Dental Nurse
  • Employment Type: Permanent
  • Practice Type: Private
  • Working Days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday
  • Working Hours: 08:30 – 17:30
  • Hourly Rate: £15 - £17 per hour (depending on experience)
  • Dental Software Used: SOE (Exact)
  • Types of Dentistry: General Dentistry & Implants
What You’ll Be Doing:

This is a varied and hands-on role, perfect for someone who enjoys being involved in both clinical and administrative sides of dental care. You’ll be:
  • Assisting chairside during a full range of dental treatments, including general procedures and implant cases
  • Supporting surgical procedures with precision and professionalism — including preparing instruments, scrubbing in, and managing post-op patient care
  • Ensuring all decontamination and infection control protocols are rigorously followed, maintaining a safe, clean, and compliant environment at all times
  • Creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere for patients, putting them at ease and guiding them through their visit with care and clarity
  • Managing essential admin tasks such as patient records, appointment bookings, and liaising with the front desk team when needed
  • Playing a proactive role in the day-to-day running of the practice — ready to jump in, help out, and contribute wherever needed
This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in being an all-rounder, enjoys variety in their day, and truly values being part of a team that works together with mutual respect and shared purpose.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re seeking a Dental Nurse who is confident, capable, and eager to make a positive impact — someone who brings both skill and enthusiasm to their role. To be successful, you’ll need to have:
  • GDC registration with at least 1 year of post-qualification experience
  • Previous experience in dental reception duties (this is essential — we need someone comfortable supporting the front desk when required)
  • A strong command of English, both spoken and written
  • A positive, can-do attitude and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get involved in all areas of practice life
  • A genuine interest in surgical procedures and implant dentistry is highly desirable — if you have experience scrubbing in for surgery, that’s a real bonus
  • A collaborative mindset and an eagerness to continue learning and developing your skills
What We Offer You in Return: We truly value our team and are committed to supporting our staff with meaningful benefits that reflect your hard work and dedication. When you join us, you’ll receive:
  • GDC registration paid
  • CPD fully funded, with access to high-quality training opportunities
  • Uniform provided
  • 28 days holiday (including bank holidays)
  • Pension scheme
  • Discounted dental treatment for you and your immediate family
  • A supportive, inclusive working environment where your contribution is recognised and appreciated
Please note: Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. We are not able to offer sponsorship for this role at present.

If you’re looking for more than just a job — if you’re looking for a position where you can grow, be valued, and help build something meaningful — we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and take the next step in your dental career with a team that puts people at the heart of everything they do.
