About the Practice
You’ll be joining a small, fully private dental practice where teamwork and a hands‑on approach are important.
The practice has two surgeries alongside an additional Treatment Coordinator (TCO) room, creating an environment where everyone can play an active part in the smooth running of the day.
Using SOE software, the practice provides a varied range of private treatments, combining routine dentistry with more advanced clinical procedures.
Clinical areas
- General private dentistry
- Dental implants
- Invisalign
- Composite bonding
- Digital dentistry and scanning
Broaden Your Clinical Skills
This opportunity offers more variety than a role focused solely on routine chairside nursing.
You’ll support clinicians across a range of treatments, gaining exposure to different techniques and workflows within private dentistry.
For a nurse interested in developing their clinical knowledge, there’s scope to build experience in implant procedures, aligner treatment, cosmetic dentistry and digital scanning.
Already experienced with digital scanners? That would be a real advantage. However, previous scanning experience isn’t essential, as the practice is looking for someone with the right attitude and enthusiasm to learn.

As part of the clinical team, you’ll provide practical support across the practice and help ensure patients receive a professional, reassuring experience.

- Providing chairside assistance during general and advanced treatments

- Preparing surgeries, instruments and equipment

- Ensuring clinical areas remain clean, organised and ready for use
- Helping patients feel comfortable throughout their treatment

- GDC‑registered Dental Nurse
