At Spring Hill Specialist Dental Centre, we're looking for either a Qualified Dental Nurse or a Trainee Dental Nurse to join our friendly, experienced team. If you enjoy working in a supportive environment where high-quality patient care comes first and no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.

Our well-established six-surgery practice has built an excellent reputation for providing general, private, referral and specialist dentistry. You'll work alongside experienced clinicians using modern technology, while being supported by a welcoming team who genuinely enjoy working together. We believe in investing in our people, encouraging professional development and creating a positive workplace where everyone feels valued.

  • Supporting clinicians during a variety of dental procedures.
  • Preparing surgeries and equipment for patient appointments.
  • Delivering outstanding patient care and ensuring patients feel comfortable throughout their visit.
  • Maintaining accurate clinical records.
  • Following cross-infection control and CQC procedures.
  • Working closely with the wider practice team to provide an excellent patient experience.

What We're Looking For

  • A GDC Registered Dental Nurse or a Trainee Dental Nurse enrolled with a recognised training provider.
  • A caring, positive and professional approach.
  • Excellent communication and organisational skills.
  • A reliable team player with a willingness to learn and develop.

Why join us?

  • Competitive salary based on experience.
  • GDC registration, indemnity and CPD paid for qualified dental nurses.
  • Funded postgraduate training and career development opportunities.
  • Contributory pension scheme.
  • Discounted dental treatment.
  • Paid birthday leave.
  • Uniform provided.
  • Employee referral bonus scheme.
  • Modern practice with CBCT, DPT imaging, digital intraoral scanning and an on-site dental laboratory.
  • Supportive team culture with opportunities to grow your career.

If you're looking for a practice where you'll be supported, appreciated and encouraged to develop your career, we'd love to welcome you to Spring Hill Specialist Dental Centre.
