Dental Nurse

🦷 Dental Nurse – Oxford - Permanent | Full-Time | Mixed Practice
£14.50 – £16.50 per hour | 40 Hours per Week | Start ASAP

Are you an ambitious Dental Nurse who wants more than the typical chairside routine? Do you enjoy being actively involved in patient care, supporting a wide range of treatments, and working in a professional yet friendly environment?
We have an exciting opportunity to join a modern, busy mixed practice in Oxford, where your role goes beyond basic assistance — you’ll be a vital part of a team delivering high-quality dentistry across NHS and private care.
Our practice prides itself on creating a workplace where staff feel respected, valued, and fully supported, while patients receive exceptional care in a welcoming, well-equipped environment.

🕒 Working Hours

• Monday – Friday: 08:30 – 17:30
• 40 hours per week
• Weekend work may be introduced within 3–6 months, on a fair rota basis (1–2 weekends per month)
• Predictable schedule with a proper work-life balance

🦷 What You’ll Be Doing

This isn’t a “sit and wait” role. You’ll be actively involved in chairside support and clinical workflows for a wide range of treatments, including:

• General Dentistry – comprehensive chairside assistance
• Cosmetic Dentistry – veneers, whitening, smile makeovers
• Implants – supporting advanced surgical procedures
• Periodontics – scaling and maintenance with skilled hygienists
• Oral Surgery – assisting with minor extractions and more complex cases

You’ll work alongside clinicians who value organisation, efficiency, and high standards — giving you the chance to learn and grow in a variety of clinical areas.

💻 Systems & Clinical Setup

• Dental Software: SOE
• Modern, fully-equipped surgeries designed for efficiency
• Well-organised appointment books to keep your day running smoothly
• Supportive workflows that let you focus on patients and quality care

💷 Salary & Benefits

• £14.50 – £16.50 per hour, dependent on experience
• Permanent, full-time position with stability and consistent hours
• Long-term career growth opportunities in both NHS and private dentistry
• Hands-on experience in advanced private treatments that build your professional skillset

👩‍⚕️ Who We’re Looking For

Essential:

• GDC-registered Dental Nurse
• Confident, reliable, and proactive
• Highly organised with excellent time management
• Patient-focused and approachable

Desirable:

• Experience with SOE software
• Comfortable assisting across NHS and private treatments
• Strong team player who thrives in a collaborative environment
• Enthusiastic about professional development and learning advanced skills

Whether you’re an experienced nurse looking to take the next step, or a capable all-rounder seeking a role with variety and responsibility, this practice will value your contribution and support your career growth.
🌟 Why This Role Stands Out

• Work in a modern, professional Oxford practice with a loyal patient base
• Real exposure to advanced private treatments like implants, cosmetic dentistry, and oral surgery
• Friendly, supportive team environment where your input and skills matter
• Opportunity to expand your clinical expertise across multiple specialisms
• Predictable hours with excellent work-life balance and potential for weekend flexibility

If you’re a motivated Dental Nurse seeking a varied, rewarding, and career-advancing role in a high-quality Oxford practice, this is the opportunity for you.
Apply today and become part of a team that values your skills and contribution.
