Dental Nurse / Receptionist – Hackney
£16 per hour & Negotiable | Full-Time | Monday–Friday | No Weekends!

Looking for a role where you can enjoy a mix of clinical nursing and reception, work closely with a lovely Principal, and become part of a friendly, close-knit team? This could be the perfect opportunity for you!

We’re working with a lovely, small mixed dental practice in Hackney that is looking for a GDC-registered Dental Nurse to join them on a permanent, full-time basis.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety in their working day and would love a role that combines chairside nursing with welcoming patients, reception and general practice administration.

✨ Why You’ll Love This Role
  • £16 per hour, depending on experience, with room to negotiate.
  • No weekends! Enjoy a Monday-to-Friday working week.
  • A lovely Principal – work closely with the Principal in a small, friendly practice.
  • A varied role – enjoy a mixture of clinical nursing, reception and administration.
  • A manageable workload – there will be dedicated time to catch up on reception duties and admin, so you won’t be expected to do everything at once.
  • Some flexibility around working hours.
  • A close-knit team where you can make a real difference to the day-to-day running of the practice.
🦷 What Will You Be Doing?
Your duties will include:
  • Providing chairside assistance during clinical sessions.
  • Welcoming patients and helping create a warm, friendly experience.
  • Managing reception enquiries and appointments.
  • Supporting general administration and the smooth running of the practice.
  • Working closely with the Principal to keep everything organised.
Clinical sessions will take place either in the morning or afternoon, with the rest of your day spent on reception. The practice understands the importance of having enough time to complete your tasks properly, with time allocated for reception and administrative duties.

  • Location: Hackney, London
  • Salary: £16 per hour, negotiable depending on experience
  • Hours: Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm, with some flexibility

👀 Who Are We Looking For?

We’re looking for a friendly, organised and adaptable Dental Nurse who enjoys working with patients and is happy to get involved in different aspects of practice life.
  • GDC registration is essential.
  • Previous reception experience would be beneficial but isn't essential.
