LEAD DENTAL NURSE – OXFORD (OX2) | £16.30 PER HOUR | LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY
Oxford, OX2
£16.30 per hour | Full Time (42 hours) | 6-Month Fixed-Term Contract
Dental Recruit Network is working closely with a well-established dental practice in Oxford to recruit a Lead Dental Nurse for a 6-month fixed-term contract.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Dental Nurse ready to step into a leadership role, gaining valuable management exposure while remaining hands-on clinically. The position is ideal for someone looking to build leadership experience, strengthen their CV, and take the next step towards senior or management-level roles.
Why This Role Stands Out This role offers the chance to take on greater responsibility and leadership within a supportive practice environment. You will play a key role in overseeing the nursing team, supporting day-to-day operations, and ensuring high clinical standards are consistently maintained.
For ambitious nurses, this is a valuable opportunity to develop leadership skills and position yourself for future senior or practice management roles.
