🦷 Dental Nurse – Private Practice | Excellent Progression into a Lead Nurse Role 🦷
Permanent | 3 Days Essential with Full-Time Potential | £14.00–£15.00ph+ | On-Site Parking

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a GDC-registered Dental Nurse to join a welcoming, patient-focused private dental practice. This is an excellent opportunity for a nurse who enjoys working in a supportive environment and is looking for genuine career progression, with a clear pathway into a Lead Dental Nurse position.

Initially, the practice requires cover on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, with the opportunity to increase to full-time for the right candidate. As you take on additional responsibilities and progress into a lead role, you'll also benefit from an increase in your hourly rate.
