Dental Nurse/TCO

Chippenham, Wiltshire, South West, England
£14.25 - £16 per hour
Expiry date:28 Jan 2027
Start date:30 Oct 2026
🦷 Dental Nurse – Private Practice | Opportunity to Develop into a TCO
💷 £14.25–£16 per hour | Permanent | Full or Part-Time

Are you a GDC-registered Dental Nurse with a proactive attitude, a commercial mindset and an interest in developing your career beyond the surgery?

We’re working with a private dental practice looking for a reliable, enthusiastic Dental Nurse to join their team. This is more than a traditional nursing position: for someone with the right attitude and ambition, there could be an opportunity to develop into a Treatment Coordinator (TCO) role through training and experience over time.

The practice is particularly interested in someone who enjoys engaging with patients, is commercially aware and would be keen to develop their understanding of treatment discussions and patient journeys.

You'll initially be working within a two-surgery practice with a dedicated TCO room, supporting a varied range of private treatments including general dentistry, implants, Invisalign and veneers.

✨ Role Highlights
  • 💷 £14.25–£16 per hour, depending on experience
  • 📅 Permanent position, with full-time preferred but part-time considered (minimum three days per week)
  • 🦷 Fully private practice offering general dentistry, implants, Invisalign and veneers
  • 🚀 Potential opportunity to progress into a Treatment Coordinator position through training and development
  • 💬 Ideal for someone who enjoys patient interaction and has an interest in the commercial side of dentistry
  • 💻 Practice management software: Dentally
  • 🏥 Two surgeries plus a dedicated TCO room
  • 🅿️ Convenient residential-road parking nearby
  • 📆 Monday to Friday working – no weekends specified
🦷 About the Role

This position would suit a Dental Nurse who enjoys being hands-on, supporting clinicians and contributing to the overall patient experience.

You'll be involved in the day-to-day clinical running of the practice, supporting treatments across general dentistry, implants, Invisalign and veneers. The team is looking for someone who is happy to get stuck in, take initiative and help wherever needed – not someone who simply wants to stick rigidly to a set list of duties.

What makes this opportunity particularly interesting is the potential to develop towards a Treatment Coordinator pathway. The practice has a dedicated TCO room and would be open to supporting the right person with training and development over time.

This is not an essential requirement, so an experienced Dental Nurse without previous TCO experience is absolutely welcome. However, someone who is genuinely interested in progressing into this area would be particularly well suited.

🚀 The TCO Opportunity

For the right candidate, there could be scope to develop beyond nursing and move towards a Treatment Coordinator role as their experience grows.

The practice would particularly welcome someone who:
  • Has an interest in treatment coordination and patient consultations
  • Enjoys communicating with patients and building relationships
  • Is commercially aware and understands the importance of converting treatment opportunities appropriately
  • Has a sales-driven or commercially minded approach
  • Is confident discussing treatment options and helping patients understand their choices
  • Is ambitious and keen to develop professionally
Previous TCO experience is not essential.

The important thing is having the right attitude, enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

👀 Who We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will be:
  • GDC registered and confident in their Dental Nurse role
  • Reliable, punctual and conscientious
  • Proactive, enthusiastic and happy to get stuck in
  • A strong communicator who enjoys interacting with patients
  • Commercially aware, with an interest in the business side of private dentistry
  • Keen to learn and potentially progress into a TCO position in the future
Implant, Invisalign or veneer experience would be useful, but the key requirement is finding someone with the right personality, work ethic and ambition.

🕒 Working Hours
  • Monday to Friday
  • 8:00am–5:15pm
  • Full-time preferred
  • Part-time considered, with a minimum commitment of three days per week
💷 Salary

£14.25–£16 per hour, depending on experience.

📍 Location & Parking

The practice has two surgeries and a dedicated TCO room, with residential-road parking available nearby for convenience.
