Looking for a role where you can enjoy the stability of a full-time position, finish early on Fridays, and continue developing your skills within implant dentistry?

A fantastic opportunity has become available for a GDC-registered Dental Nurse to join a friendly, well-established mixed practice with a predominantly NHS patient base and a strong reputation for delivering high-quality care. This is an ideal role for a nurse who thrives in a close-knit environment, enjoys getting stuck in, and values being part of a supportive team where reliability and teamwork are genuinely appreciated.

With exposure to both routine and advanced treatments, including implant procedures, this role offers the perfect balance of familiarity and clinical development.

Employment Type: Permanent
Practice Type: Mixed (Predominantly NHS)

📅 Working Pattern

Monday – Friday
✔ Full-time permanent position
✔ No weekends

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone seeking long-term security and a healthy work-life balance.

⏰ Working Hours

Monday – Thursday: 08:00 – 17:00
Friday: 08:00 – 15:00

That earlier Friday finish means you can start your weekend ahead of the crowd.

💷 Salary

Up to £15.00 per hour
Competitive salary offered based on experience, implant exposure, and overall suitability for the role.

🏥 About the Practice

This welcoming 2-surgery mixed practice combines the consistency of NHS dentistry with opportunities to assist in private implant treatments.

The team prides itself on creating a friendly, supportive atmosphere where staff work collaboratively to provide excellent patient care. As a smaller practice, everyone plays an important role, and your contribution will never go unnoticed.

The environment is organised, patient-focused, and ideal for a nurse looking to establish themselves within a stable and close-knit team.
