We’re Hiring – Join Our Friendly Dental Team!
At Selkirk Dental Practice, we have an exciting opportunity for someone who wants a varied and rewarding role as both a Dental Nurse and Receptionist.
This is perfect for someone who wants to:
- Be hands-on in patient care, assisting dentists chairside, AND
- Be front-facing on reception, welcoming patients and keeping the practice running smoothly.
Whether you’re experienced or completely new to dentistry, we’ll provide full, in-depth training and support to help you develop a long-term career.
Why This Role is Unique:
This is not just a desk job or a purely clinical role — it’s the best of both worlds.
You’ll gain experience in:
- Providing exceptional patient care during dental treatments.
- Learning essential clinical skills like instrument sterilisation and decontamination.
- Welcoming patients, managing bookings, and handling front desk operations.
Over time, you can choose to focus more on either reception or dental nursing, depending on your career goals.
Your Main Responsibilities:
- Greeting patients warmly, both in person and on the phone.
- Booking appointments and keeping patient records up to date.
- Supporting dentists during treatments and putting patients at ease.
- Maintaining a safe and clean clinical environment.
- Helping with administrative tasks to keep the practice running smoothly.
- Handling payments and general reception duties.
What We’re Looking For:
- A friendly, confident personality and great communication skills.
- Someone organised and reliable who enjoys multitasking.
- A team player who thrives in a busy, fast-paced environment.
- Willingness to learn new skills and take part in structured training.
- Good basic IT skills (e.g., Microsoft Word).
No dental experience required – we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
Benefits:
- A varied role with lots of opportunities to develop your career.
- Supportive team with a great work atmosphere.
- Comprehensive in-house training provided by experienced staff.
- Flexible working options – full-time (38 hours over 4 days)
- Free parking on site and relocation support if required.
- Company pension, employee discounts, and regular team events.
