Job Summary

We are looking for an enthusiastic and reliable full time dental nurse to join our team. You will be working alongside our experienced dental nurses providing chairside support to our dentists and hygienists as well as working in other areas of the practice such as reception.

We are a predominantly private dental practice providing all routine dentistry along with more complex treatments such as sedation, dental implants, orthodontics and oral surgery. If you do not have experience in these areas then training will be provided.
