Job Description

Dental Nurse, Cherryvalley Dental Care, East Belfast

We believe a great practice starts with a great team - people who care about patients, care about each other, and take pride in doing things well.

If you're looking for a place where you'll be valued, developed, and genuinely supported, we'd love you to consider joining us.

Who We Are

We're an independent, patient-focused practice with a warm, steady, community feel. Our vision is simple:

to give every patient the kind of care we'd want for our own families - calm, thoughtful, and never rushed.

We're a small team, so we lean on each other. We celebrate the good days, talk honestly on the tougher ones, and always try to make Cherryvalley a place people enjoy coming to -- staff and patients alike.

What It's Like to Work Here

You'll be part of a close-knit team where everyone helps each other out. Some days are busy, and you'll move between surgery and reception. Other days are quieter, giving you space to learn, ask questions, and build your confidence.

You'll get plenty of support, clear expectations, and the chance to grow at your own pace. We value kindness, calmness, and people who take pride in doing a job well.

If you enjoy building relationships, making patients feel at ease, and being part of something steady and well-run, you'll fit right in.
