Dental Nurse / Trainee Dental Nurse
£13.50–£16.50 per hour | Permanent | Full-time, 4–5 days
Would you like a dental nursing role with genuine variety, modern technology and plenty of opportunity to develop?
The Gardens Dental Practice is an established, independently owned private practice in central Dorchester, directly opposite Borough Gardens. We are looking for a positive and caring person to join our friendly team—either an experienced Dental Nurse or someone ready to begin an exciting new career in dentistry.
Alongside high-quality general and cosmetic dentistry, you will have the opportunity to become involved in advanced implant treatments, including digitally guided surgery and full-arch rehabilitation. We use modern technology including CBCT, digital intraoral scanning and 3D printing, offering experience that goes well beyond routine dental nursing.
Already qualified?
We will help you broaden your skills through funded CPD and practical experience in digital and implant dentistry. Previous implant experience is welcomed but certainly not essential.
Looking to train?
No previous dental experience is required. If you are friendly, reliable and eager to learn, we will provide full support and fund your training towards a recognised dental nursing qualification.
Your role will include:
- Assisting during general, cosmetic and implant procedures
- Preparing surgeries, instruments and materials
- Caring for and reassuring patients
- Maintaining excellent infection-control standards
- Helping our clinical days run smoothly
What we offer:
- £13.50–£16.50 per hour, depending on qualifications and experience
- Fully funded training and professional development
- GDC registration and indemnity paid for qualified nurses
- Excellent experience in modern digital and implant dentistry
- Employee dental treatment discount
- On-site parking
- Company pension and practice social events
- A welcoming and supportive team
- Genuine opportunities to develop as the practice grows
If you are looking for a rewarding role where you can learn, progress and become a valued part of an ambitious independent practice, we would love to hear from you.
Please apply with your CV and a short introduction stating whether you are qualified or hoping to train, whether you prefer four or five days, and when you could start.
All applications will be treated in confidence.
