Dental Nurse

St Leonards, Dorset, South West, England
£14 - £15 per hour
Expiry date:06 Dec 2025
Start date:06 Nov 2025
We are seeking a GDC-registered Dental Nurse to join a highly regarded, independent family practice in St Leonards On Sea. This role is perfect for a proactive nurse eager to step up and gain exposure to advanced and specialist dentistry.

What sets this role apart?
  • Specialist Exposure: Hands-on nursing experience across Specialist Orthodontics, Endodontics, Crowns, and Invisalign treatments.
  • Supportive Environment: Be part of a genuine, family-like team that prioritises collaborative care and continuity for both staff and patients.
  • Great Work-Life Balance: Consistent weekday-only hours with a generous 1-hour paid break. Rare Saturday mornings only occur occasionally and when required.
  • Convenient Commute: Excellent transport links—only a 5-minute walk from Warrior Square Station—plus free on-site parking.
  • Reputation: Join a well-established practice with a 20-year history of trusted, patient-centred care within the local community.

About the Practice

This is not a corporate environment. For over two decades, this small, independent practice has delivered exceptional continuity of care and built a strong reputation in St Leonards On Sea. The team is supportive and close-knit, comprising one Principal Dentist and two Hygienists. They are highly professional, welcoming, and deeply committed to outstanding patient experiences.
  • Software: Pearl+
  • Technology: Fully equipped with Digital X-rays.

Your Key Responsibilities

This is an "all-rounder" role where you'll be essential to the smooth running of the surgeries:
  • Providing seamless chairside assistance for both general and specialist treatments (Orthodontics, Endodontics, Restorative).
  • Supporting the Hygienist team and the Principal Dentist.
  • Maintaining impeccable standards in decontamination, cross-infection control (CQC compliance), and surgery preparation.
  • Accurate charting and record-keeping using Pearl+ software.
  • Assisting with digital radiography.

What We're Looking For

Essential Requirements
  • GDC Registered Dental Nurse with a proven track record of reliability.
  • A proactive, confident, and organised professional, ready to "get stuck in" and embrace a busy mixed environment.

Highly Desirable
  • Prior experience in a mixed practice or with exposure to specialist disciplines (e.g., Orthodontics).
  • A genuine interest in career development within advanced and specialist dental procedures.
