£17.50 to £18.50ph  | Full Time, Monday to Friday | SOE Software

Dental Recruit Network is working closely with a well-established mixed dental practice to recruit an experienced Orthodontic Dental Nurse / Treatment Coordinator for a varied and rewarding position within their team.

This is a unique opportunity to join a forward-thinking practice where orthodontics is delivered on a fully private basis, offering a high standard of care and a strong focus on patient experience. The role combines both clinical and patient-facing responsibilities, with flexibility to tailor the position to suit your strengths and career goals.
Why This Role Stands Out This position offers genuine variety and progression. You will have the opportunity to work closely with orthodontic patients throughout their journey, combining hands-on clinical nursing with consultative, patient-focused TCO responsibilities.

The practice is supportive and adaptable, open to structuring the role as a hybrid position or purely clinical if preferred — making this an excellent option for someone looking to either step into a TCO role or further develop within orthodontics.
