Dental Nurse

🦷 Dental Nurse / Reception Support – Private Specialist Practice (Restorative Focus) 🦷
Permanent | Mon–Fri | £29,000–£38,000 DOE | Calm, High-Quality Clinical Environment

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a GDC-registered Dental Nurse to join a highly regarded fully private, solo-practitioner practice known for its calm atmosphere, patient-first ethos, and strong focus on specialist prosthodontic and restorative dentistry.

This is a great fit for a nurse who values quality over volume, enjoys building genuine patient relationships, and is looking to develop further exposure within advanced restorative and specialist-led care. The role also offers a varied mix of clinical and front-of-house responsibilities, making it ideal for someone who enjoys a more holistic practice environment.

📍 Role Overview

Position: Dental Nurse / Reception Support
Employment Type: Permanent
Practice Type: Fully Private
Working Days: Monday – Friday
Start Date: End of June / Early July

⏰ Working Pattern

Hours: 08:30 – 17:30

No routine weekend work required

Very occasional emergency Saturday appointments (paid at an enhanced rate)

This structure supports a strong work-life balance while maintaining flexibility for rare urgent patient needs.

💷 Salary Package

£28,000 – £38,000 per annum (dependent on experience and suitability)

A competitive package reflecting both clinical capability and adaptability across clinical and reception responsibilities.

🏥 About the Practice

This is a well-established, fully private family-oriented practice with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, personalised care in a calm and professional environment.

Key features include:

• Small, close-knit team
• 2 treatment rooms
• Strong emphasis on patient experience and continuity of care
• Relaxed but highly professional working environment

The practice is built around long-term patient relationships and clinical quality rather than volume.

🦷 Clinical Exposure

You will gain valuable exposure to a range of high-quality treatments, including:

• General Dentistry
• Specialist Prosthodontics
• Advanced Restorative Dentistry

This is an excellent opportunity for a Dental Nurse looking to broaden their clinical knowledge, particularly within restorative and specialist-led workflows, even without prior experience in these areas.

🧩 Key Responsibilities

• Providing high-quality chairside assistance across a variety of procedures
• Supporting specialist prosthodontic and restorative treatments
• Assisting with hygienist and clinical support where required
• Front-of-house / reception support as needed
• Surgery preparation and maintaining high infection control standards
• Delivering a calm, professional, and reassuring patient experience
• Contributing positively to a small and highly collaborative team

✅ Candidate Profile

Essential:
• GDC-registered Dental Nurse
• Adaptable and reliable with a strong team-focused attitude
• Confident working across both clinical and reception duties
• Professional, calm, and patient-centred approach

Desirable:
• Interest in restorative or specialist dentistry
• Willingness to learn and develop within advanced clinical environments

🎁 Benefits

• 21 days annual leave bank holidays 🌴
• No regular weekend work
• Enhanced pay for occasional emergency Saturday cover
• Exposure to specialist restorative and prosthodontic dentistry
• Stable, long-term position within a respected private practice
• Supportive, close-knit working environment

🌟 Why This Role Stands Out

This is a rare opportunity to join a calm, quality-led private practice where patient care and clinical standards are genuinely prioritised.

You’ll benefit from:

• Exposure to advanced restorative dentistry
• A supportive, low-pressure clinical setting
• A varied role combining nursing and reception duties
• Excellent work-life balance
• Long-term stability within a respected practice
