🦷 Dental Nurse Wanted – Join Our Friendly, Specialist Practice!
Location: West Sussex

Are you a passionate and professional Dental Nurse looking to thrive in a supportive, forward-thinking practice? Do you take pride in patient care, teamwork, and helping create a calm and welcoming environment for every individual who walks through the door?

We are a well-established, 3-surgery mixed NHS and private dental practice, offering a full range of general treatments alongside specialist orthodontics. We're proud to offer exceptional patient care in a modern, friendly setting—and we’re looking for an enthusiastic Dental Nurse to join our dedicated team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is looking to expand their skillset and grow in a nurturing, team-focused environment. Whether you’re newly qualified or have years of experience, we’re keen to hear from you.

🛠 What You’ll Be Doing:
As a vital part of our clinical team, your responsibilities will be varied and essential in delivering high-quality care. These will include:

• Assisting dentists and our specialist orthodontist during a wide range of procedures, ensuring patients feel safe, supported, and well cared for throughout
• Preparing and maintaining treatment rooms, sterilising instruments, and managing cross-infection control processes to the highest standard
• Taking responsibility for patient records and maintaining accurate clinical notes and charts
• Offering reassurance and guidance to nervous or anxious patients, helping them feel at ease during their visit
• Supporting the day-to-day running of the practice, including occasional cover on reception and assisting with administrative duties when needed
• Upholding strict CQC compliance and health & safety procedures
• Contributing to the overall smooth and positive functioning of the team with a proactive and helpful approach

📅 Days & Hours:
We’re looking for someone available to work the following set days:

• Monday: 8:00am – 5:00pm
• Tuesday: 8:00am – 5:00pm
• Wednesday: 7:30am – 4:30pm
• Plus one Saturday every four weeks: 8:00am – 1:00pm

These regular hours allow for a great work-life balance, and we work hard to maintain a healthy and happy environment where you’ll feel supported and appreciated.

💷 Pay & Perks:

• Up to £14 per hour, paid regularly and reliably
• Free on-site parking, and additional free 1-hour on-road parking just outside the practice
• Exposure to specialist orthodontics, enhancing your experience and development
• A friendly, down-to-earth team who genuinely enjoy working together
• A practice that listens to its staff and invests in training and professional growth

✅ What We’re Looking For:
You must be a GDC-registered Dental Nurse

• A positive, adaptable attitude with a willingness to learn and support the team
• Excellent communication skills, both with patients and colleagues
• A professional, well-organised approach and a keen eye for detail
• While experience in orthodontics is a bonus, it’s by no means essential—training can be provided for the right candidate

At our core, we believe in creating a practice that patients look forward to visiting and staff enjoy being part of. If you’re a Dental Nurse who shares those values and is looking for a new, rewarding challenge—we’d love to hear from you.
