As a clinically led dental group, we’re passionate about creating practices where people feel valued, respected, and excited to develop their careers. Here, you won’t just assist chairside — you’ll play a vital role in delivering excellent patient experiences and driving the success of the practice.

This is more than a clinical role — it’s a platform for professional fulfillment and personal growth.

✅ A Role That Matters – Contribute directly to patient care and practice success while using your expertise every day.

✅ A Supportive Team – Work alongside experienced clinicians and colleagues who value your input and skills.

✅ Professional Growth – Access training, development, and progression opportunities across our network to keep your career moving forward.

✅ Variety Every Day – From preparing surgeries to supporting advanced treatments, no two days are ever quite the same.

✅ Opportunities Across the UK – With over 220 practices nationwide, your career with us can grow wherever life takes you.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Assist dentists during a wide range of clinical procedures
  • Prepare and maintain dental instruments, equipment, and materials
  • Uphold high standards of infection control and surgery cleanliness
  • Provide reassurance and support to patients throughout their visit
  • Maintain accurate patient records and manage administrative tasks
  • Promote and advise patients on oral health and dental care products
  • Play an important role in creating a friendly, welcoming atmosphere for patients and the team

Skills and Attributes We’re Looking For:

  • Qualified and GDC-registered Dental Nurse
  • Confident and professional communication skills
  • Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills
  • Comfortable working in a clinical environment, including procedures where you may see blood or surgical treatments
  • Ability to work well both independently and as part of a team
  • A caring, compassionate approach towards patients and colleagues
  • A proactive attitude towards learning and professional development

Hear From a Colleague:

"My experience working with Rodericks Dental Partners has been both rewarding and enriching. I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside a supportive and professional team, which has helped me grow both personally and professionally. I have enjoyed the patient interaction and the variety of treatment we assist with. Being able to support patients throughout their dental journey, especially those who may be anxious and nervous, and seeing their confidence grow after treatment is incredibly rewarding. I’ve gained valuable clinical skills, built a lot of confidence, and developed stronger communication skills, especially when supporting nervous patients. Overall, I have felt supported by my approachable colleagues, and I’ve become more independent and resourceful in my role. One moment that stood out to me was helping a very anxious patient who hadn’t seen a dentist in years; by the end of the appointment, they were visibly more relaxed and thanked me personally for making the experience easier. It reminded me how much of a difference we can make, not just through clinical work, but through empathy and support.” Nilly, Qualified Dental Nurse

Our Culture and Values:

Exceptional patient care begins with professionals like you. At Rodericks Dental Partners, we believe that when you’re valued, supported, and empowered, it shows in your confidence, your skills, and your smile. That’s why we offer professional development, true clinical freedom, and a team that genuinely cares. Because here, your smile matters too.

Join a team where your expertise is valued, your development is encouraged, and your future is full of possibility.
