Looking for something a little different from the traditional practice environment?
An exciting opportunity has become available for a GDC-registered Dental Nurse to join a unique and growing private dental service providing care directly within independent and private schools across the Southampton area.
Working from a fully equipped mobile dental unit, you'll play a key role in delivering high-quality dental care to children and young people in a fun, professional, and highly rewarding setting.

Practice Type: Mobile Dental Unit – Private Schools
Start Date: ASAP
📅 Working Pattern
Monday – Friday
✔ Flexible working available
✔ Minimum 2.5 days per week
✔ Full-time (5 days) also available

⏰ Working Hours

As the service operates across multiple school sites, working days can vary slightly depending on patient demand and location.

💷 Salary
£15.00 – £18.50 per hour
Salary will be dependent on experience, qualifications, and overall suitability for the role.
🚐 About the Service
This isn't your typical dental nursing role.
You'll be working within a modern, fully equipped mobile dental unit, travelling between private and independent schools to provide accessible dental care in a comfortable and child-friendly environment.
Using Dentally software and supported by an experienced clinical team, you'll help deliver efficient and professional care while creating positive dental experiences for young patients.
The atmosphere is supportive, relaxed, and team-focused, with everyone working together to ensure each day runs smoothly.
🦷 Clinical Exposure
You'll gain experience across:
✨ General Dentistry
✨ Orthodontics
The role offers excellent variety and the opportunity to work closely with children and adolescents, making it particularly rewarding for nurses who enjoy building patient relationships and helping young people feel comfortable in a dental setting.
🧩 Key Responsibilities
• Providing chairside support during dental and orthodontic appointments
• Preparing and maintaining the mobile surgery to high clinical standards
• Supporting clinicians with efficient patient flow throughout the day
• Delivering a calm, friendly, and reassuring experience for young patients
• Maintaining strict infection control and compliance standards
• Assisting with the smooth setup and operation of clinics across different school locations
• Working collaboratively with a close-knit and adaptable team
✅ What We're Looking For
Essential:
✔ GDC-registered Dental Nurse
✔ Reliable and professional
✔ Comfortable working in a mobile and varied environment
✔ Strong team player with a positive attitude
✔ Enjoys working with children and young people
✔ Flexible and adaptable approach to changing schedules
Personality Fit:
This role would suit someone who is:
⭐ Friendly and approachable
⭐ Calm under pressure
⭐ Happy to "muck in" and support the team
⭐ Fast-paced and proactive
⭐ Comfortable with a role that offers something different every day
🌟 Why This Role Stands Out
✨ Unique mobile dental nursing role
✨ Work within private and independent schools
✨ Flexible 2.5–5 day working options
✨ Competitive salary up to £18.50ph
✨ Term-time focused schedule
✨ Excellent work-life balance opportunities
✨ Modern digital workflows using Dentally
✨ Varied and rewarding patient interactions
✨ Supportive, close-knit team culture
✨ Opportunity to make a genuine impact on children's oral health
🚀 The Opportunity
If you're looking to step away from the routine of traditional practice life and join a service that's innovative, rewarding, and genuinely different, this could be the perfect role.
You'll enjoy a varied working week, meaningful patient interactions, and the chance to work alongside a team that values flexibility, positivity, and excellent patient care.
