Are you a dedicated Dental Nurse looking for more than just a job? If you’re seeking a role where your contributions are valued, your growth is supported, and you’re surrounded by a genuinely supportive team – you’ve found the right place.
We’re a well-established, mixed dental practice offering a wide range of treatments, from general dentistry to specialist procedures including orthodontics, endodontics, implants, and oral surgery. We’re now on the lookout for a skilled and compassionate Dental Nurse who thrives in a dynamic, hands-on environment and is excited to be part of a team that truly works together.

🦷 About the Role

As our new Dental Nurse, you’ll play a key role in delivering an outstanding patient experience. You’ll support a variety of procedures and contribute to the smooth day-to-day running of our clinic. From assisting in surgery to helping on reception when needed, your role will be varied and impactful.

Your key responsibilities will include:
  • Chairside assistance across a range of treatments: general dentistry, ortho, endo, implants, surgical extractions
  • Preparing and sterilising treatment rooms and instruments to a high standard
  • Maintaining strong infection control procedures in line with CQC requirements
  • Accurate updating of patient records and clinical notes
  • Supporting the wider team – helping at reception or assisting colleagues as needed
  • Providing a calm, friendly presence to help patients feel welcome and at ease
Note: Occasional weekend availability (roughly once a month) is required to support oral surgery clinics – typically just a few hours, planned in advance.

🧰 What We’re Looking For

This role suits a confident and motivated Dental Nurse who wants to be part of something more. If you bring a strong foundation in clinical care, a willingness to pitch in, and a genuine team spirit – you’ll fit right in.

You’ll need:
  • GDC registration (essential)
  • Experience in a clinical dental setting (multi-disciplinary experience is a bonus)
  • Previous front-of-house/reception experience in a dental environment
  • Familiarity with dental software (we use Dentally – experience preferred, but not essential)
  • A proactive, can-do attitude and a collaborative mindset
  • Excellent communication skills – clear written and spoken English is essential
  • A calm, professional approach – especially when things get busy
💡 Why Work With Us?

We know that Dental Nurses are the heart of a great practice – and we treat you that way. You’ll be part of a close-knit, knowledgeable team that supports each other every step of the way.

What we offer:
  • Competitive hourly rate (£12.50–15.00) based on your experience
  • A consistent 4-day workweek with structured hours and a guaranteed lunch break
  • A respectful, inclusive team culture where your voice matters
  • Opportunities to grow – whether you want to upskill, train in new areas, or take on more responsibility
  • Exposure to a wide range of treatments and the chance to work alongside experienced specialists
  • Open communication, fair expectations, and a true sense of belonging
📩 Ready to Take the Next Step? If you’re looking for a fulfilling role in a supportive, forward-thinking practice – we’d love to hear from you.

Whether you’re actively job hunting or just curious about your next move, get in touch. Let’s have a conversation and see if we’re the right fit for each other.
