Expert Smile, Paignton

40 hours per week | Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5:30pm
Join a modern, growing private practice where you'll be part of something exciting.
Expert Smile is a small, owner-led practice in Paignton, and we're looking for a friendly, motivated Dental Nurse to join our close-knit team.
We've built a calm, contemporary practice with modern equipment and digital workflows, and we're actively expanding our Invisalign offering. This is an opportunity to grow with the practice, develop real skills in private dentistry and Invisalign, and be part of a team where your contribution genuinely matters.
If you enjoy dental nursing but want genuine variety in your role, this position gives you that.
Your time will be split between dental nursing and reception, so you're involved across clinical work and patient care, not just chairside.
What you'll be doing:
Dental nursing
Assisting chairside across a range of private treatments, preparing and maintaining clinical areas, decontamination and instrument processing, supporting our clinicians to deliver excellent patient care, maintaining accurate clinical records and compliance logs, and managing stock ordering.
Reception
Welcoming patients, handling calls and enquiries, managing appointments, assisting with finance queries, taking payments, maintaining patient records, and providing information about our treatments and services.
About you:
- GDC registration would be an advantage, but it isn’t essential. We’d also love to hear from experienced trainee dental nurses who are already working towards a recognised qualification, or who are ready and eligible to begin one within the required timeframe.
- Some reception experience (whether from a dedicated role or covering the desk alongside nursing)
- Friendly, reliable and self-motivated
- Excellent communication and organisational skills
- Experience in private dentistry, Invisalign or Dentally is useful but not essential
What we offer:
- Competitive salary at £14.50 per hour (£30,160 per year)
- Monday to Friday, 8:30am-5:30pm
- Overtime paid at time and a half
- Bonus scheme tied to Invisalign treatments as we grow
- GDC registration covered
- Ongoing CPD development opportunities
- Full training in our systems and Invisalign processes
- Modern, well-equipped practice
- Small, supportive team where everyone works together
- Direct contact with the practice owners
- Real opportunity to develop your skills and build valuable experience as the practice expands
We're building our Invisalign offering and the right person will be part of that growth from the start. You'll receive full training and genuine opportunities to develop as the practice continues to expand.
If you're looking for a role with variety in a small, modern practice where you can make a real contribution and develop your skills, we'd love to hear from you.
