About you

- Reliable and well organised
- A genuine team player
- Confident communicating with patients
- Committed to delivering excellent standards of care
- Keen to learn and develop
- Comfortable working in a busy clinical environment
- Proactive and willing to help the wider team when needed
Experience is valuable, but attitude, reliability and finding someone who fits well within our team matter enormously to us.
The role
You'll work closely with our dentists and wider clinical team to provide excellent chairside support and help ensure our patients have a positive experience from the moment they arrive.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing high-quality chairside assistance across a broad range of treatments
- Preparing and maintaining surgeries, instruments, materials and equipment
- Maintaining excellent infection prevention, decontamination and cross-infection standards
- Supporting and reassuring patients throughout their treatment
- Assisting with clinical charting and accurate record keeping
- Supporting radiography procedures where appropriately trained
- Managing laboratory work and helping monitor clinical stock
- Identifying and reporting equipment or maintenance issues
- Supporting the smooth running of the wider practice
- Maintaining patient confidentiality and following practice policies
- Participating in CPD, team meetings, training and annual medical-emergency training
- Supporting trainee colleagues where appropriate
Newly qualified?
Absolutely.
If you've recently qualified and are looking for a supportive environment in which to build your confidence and experience, we'd be very happy to hear from you.
Still training?
Although our preference is for a qualified Dental Nurse, we would consider an exceptional trainee who demonstrates the right attitude, reliability and commitment to developing a career in dental nursing.
You'll receive appropriate supervision and support while working towards a recognised Dental Nursing qualification and developing your clinical skills.
