π Head Dental Nurse | Step Into a Role Where Your Voice Matters π
Private Practice Group | York | Up to Β£17.50ph | 4β5 Days Per Week | No Weekends
You've mastered the art of dental nursing.
You're the person people come to with questions. The one who notices when stock is running low before anyone else does. The calm head in a busy clinic. The mentor to newer nurses. The person who quietly keeps everything moving.
Now it's time for a role that recognises that.
We're recruiting for an experienced Head Dental Nurse to join a highly respected private practice group in York. This isn't a title for the sake of it. It's a genuine leadership opportunity where you'll help shape the culture, support multiple teams and play an active part in the continued success of a growing group of practices.
If you've been waiting for the chance to step away from "just nursing" and into a position with real influence, this could be exactly what you've been looking for.

β€οΈ The Kind of Leader Who Thrives Here...
You don't need to be the loudest voice in the room.
