Are you a GDC-registered Dental Nurse looking for a role where you can develop your clinical skills while potentially progressing into Treatment Coordination (TCO) in the future?

We're recruiting on behalf of a modern 2-surgery private dental practice looking for a reliable, enthusiastic Dental Nurse to join its friendly team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working as part of a close-knit team, takes pride in providing great patient care, and is keen to develop professionally. For the right person, there is also the potential to progress towards a Treatment Coordinator role through training and development over time.

Importantly, previous TCO experience is not essential — the practice is happy to support someone who has the ambition and interest to develop in this direction.

Position: Dental Nurse
Employment Type: Permanent
Practice Type: Fully Private
Working Pattern: Full-time or part-time – minimum 3 days per week
Days: Monday–Friday

🕒 Working Hours

08:00–17:15

🚫 No regular weekends
🚫 No bank holidays

💷 Salary

£14.25–£16.00 per hour DOE

The salary will reflect your experience and overall suitability for the role.

🏥 About the Practice

You'll be joining a welcoming 2-surgery private practice with a dedicated Treatment Coordinator room, giving the successful candidate the opportunity to become involved in both the clinical and patient journey sides of the practice.

The practice uses Dentally and provides a range of high-quality private treatments within a supportive and collaborative environment.

Practice Highlights

✨ Fully private practice
✨ Modern 2-surgery environment
✨ Dedicated TCO room
✨ Dentally dental software
✨ Friendly and supportive team
✨ Strong focus on patient care
✨ Opportunity for professional development

🦷 Clinical Exposure

You'll support clinicians across a varied range of private treatments, including:

General Dentistry
Dental Implants
Invisalign
Veneers
Cosmetic Dentistry

This provides an excellent opportunity to broaden your experience within private dentistry while working alongside experienced clinicians.

🧩 Your Responsibilities

As a Dental Nurse, you'll:

Provide high-quality chairside support across a range of private treatments
Assist with implant, Invisalign, veneer, and general dental procedures
Prepare and maintain surgeries to excellent clinical standards
Follow infection prevention and cross-contamination protocols
Maintain a professional and reassuring patient experience
Support the wider team with the smooth running of the practice
Work collaboratively with clinicians and colleagues
Take an active role in the day-to-day running of the practice

The practice is looking for someone who is willing to get stuck in, take responsibility, and be a genuine team player.

📈 Potential TCO Career Pathway

For someone interested in developing beyond traditional Dental Nursing, there is the potential to work towards a Treatment Coordinator position through training and experience over time.

You don't need previous TCO experience, and becoming a TCO is not an essential requirement for the role.

However, if you're someone who enjoys:

✨ Building relationships with patients
✨ Discussing treatment and patient journeys
✨ Developing your communication skills
✨ Taking on additional responsibility
✨ Progressing your dental career

then the practice can provide the opportunity to develop these skills and potentially progress into a TCO position in the future.

✅ What We're Looking For
Essential

✔ GDC-registered Dental Nurse
✔ Reliable and professional
✔ Positive attitude and strong work ethic
✔ Excellent patient care and communication skills
✔ Team player who is happy to get stuck in
✔ Organised and proactive approach

Desirable

⭐ Interest in progressing towards a TCO role
⭐ Previous Treatment Coordinator experience
⭐ Private dental experience
⭐ Interest in developing patient communication and treatment coordination skills

TCO experience is not essential — enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to learn are far more important.

🌟 Why This Role Stands Out

✨ £14.25–£16.00 per hour
✨ Permanent position with full-time or part-time flexibility
✨ Minimum 3 days per week
✨ Monday–Friday working
✨ No regular weekends
✨ Fully private practice
✨ Exposure to implants, Invisalign and veneers
✨ Modern 2-surgery practice
✨ Dedicated TCO room
✨ Dentally software
✨ Potential pathway into Treatment Coordination through training
