🦷 What You'll Be Doing
Forget the conveyor belt feeling of a busy high street practice.

Your role will include:
✨ Chairside support during dental appointments
✨ Assisting with orthodontic treatments
✨ Preparing and maintaining the mobile surgery
✨ Supporting smooth patient flow throughout the day
✨ Delivering reassurance and encouragement to young patients
✨ Upholding excellent infection control standards

✔ Enjoys working with children and teenagers
✔ Is adaptable and happy with a change of scenery
✔ Brings positivity and energy to the team
✔ Can think on their feet and remain calm under pressure
✔ Loves being part of a service that genuinely makes a difference
You don't need to be the loudest person in the room — just someone reliable, compassionate and willing to muck in when needed.
❤️ More Than Just Another Dental Nurse Job
For the right person, this role offers something special.
You'll swap the routine of traditional practice life for school communities, meaningful patient interactions and a role where your work can genuinely shape a child's attitude towards dentistry for years to come.
