🦷 Looking for a Dental Nurse Role That Fits Around Your Life? 🦷
Private Practice | Plymouth | 3–5 Days Per Week | Up to £16ph | No Weekends

Not everyone wants the hustle and bustle of a large corporate practice.

Sometimes, it's about finding a team you genuinely enjoy working with, patients you can build relationships with, and a role that lets you leave work at work.

If that sounds like your ideal setup, this lovely private practice in Plymouth could be exactly what you're looking for.

They're searching for a GDC-registered Dental Nurse to join their friendly team, with flexibility to offer anywhere from 3 to 5 days per week. Whether you're looking for a full-time move or a part-time position that works around family life or other commitments, they're keen to find the right person rather than squeeze someone into a rigid schedule.

🤍 What Makes This Practice Different?

It's the type of practice where people pitch in for one another.

Where reception will help the nurses, the nurses will help reception, and everyone works together to make sure patients receive the best possible experience.

There's no drama, no impossible expectations — just a supportive team that genuinely enjoys what they do.

🏥 About the Practice

This welcoming three-surgery private practice has built a loyal patient base through its warm approach and high standards of care.

✔ Friendly, dependable and professional
✔ Happy to turn your hand to both nursing and occasional reception duties
✔ A team player who enjoys helping out wherever needed
✔ Passionate about patient care and making people feel at ease
