Qualified Dental Nurse / Receptionist | Castelnau Dentists, Barnes | Full-Time
Love both patient care and customer service? Why choose one when you can enjoy both?
We’re looking for a qualified and experienced Dental Nurse / Receptionist to join our friendly team at Castelnau Dentists on a full-time, permanent basis.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety of working both chairside and front of house and wants to become part of a busy, established practice at an exciting stage of growth.
About the Role
The role will initially include a significant reception element alongside regular dental nursing. As our new surgeries become fully operational and our clinical diaries grow, we expect more nursing days to become available.
We’re therefore looking for someone who genuinely enjoys both aspects of working in a dental practice and is happy to work flexibly depending on the needs of the team.
The role will include:
- Providing chairside assistance and supporting our clinicians
- Preparing surgeries and maintaining high standards of infection prevention and control
- Supporting patients throughout their appointments
- Welcoming patients and providing a friendly, professional front-of-house experience
- Managing appointments and clinicians’ diaries
- Responding to telephone, email and patient enquiries
- Taking payments and completing general reception administration
- Working closely with the clinical, reception and management teams to keep the practice running smoothly
Why Join Castelnau Dentists?
Castelnau Dentists is a busy, established mixed NHS and private dental practice in Barnes. We have recently expanded the practice by adding further surgeries, making this an exciting time to join our growing team.
We provide a wide range of treatments, including general and cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, dental implants and facial aesthetics.
This position would particularly suit someone looking for a varied, long-term role that can continue to develop as the practice grows.

- Tuesday: 8:00am–4:00pm
- Thursday: 8:00am–5:00pm
- Friday: 8:00am–4:00pm

What We Offer
- Competitive salary depending on experience
- A varied role across dental nursing and reception
- The opportunity for the role to develop as the practice grows
- Training on our practice systems
- Friendly, professional and supportive team
- An established practice offering a varied range of treatments
About You
You’ll be a qualified Dental Nurse with current GDC registration and at least one year’s experience working within a dental practice.
- Confident working both chairside and on reception
- Friendly, organised and professional
- Reliable and comfortable working as part of a busy team
- An excellent spoken and written communicator
