Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
You’ll work closely with qualified dental professionals, gaining hands-on experience across all areas of dental nursing. From day one, you’ll be encouraged to build confidence, develop new skills, and work towards becoming a fully qualified Dental Nurse in a professional and welcoming private practice environment. This is a patient-facing role where enthusiasm, reliability, and a positive attitude are just as important as technical skills. If you enjoy helping others and want a career where no two days are the same, this could be the perfect starting point. (Sheffield)
Key ResponsibilitiesAs a Trainee Dental Nurse, you will:
- Assist dentists and clinicians during a range of dental treatments and procedures
- Ensure patients feel comfortable, informed, and reassured throughout their visit
- Prepare treatment rooms and ensure all equipment and materials are ready for use
- Clean, sterilise, and maintain instruments in line with infection control standards
- Follow health, safety, and confidentiality policies at all times
- Support patients with pre and post-treatment guidance
- Accurately update patient records using computer-based systems
- Help manage appointment flow and support the smooth running of the practice
- Assist with basic administrative duties as required
What We’re Looking For:
- We believe the right attitude and mindset are key. You don’t need dental experience; we’re looking for someone who:
- Has a positive, can-do approach and is eager to learn
- Is genuinely interested in patient care and personal development
- Is reliable, punctual, and takes pride in being professional
- Enjoys working as part of a team and supporting others
- Communicates clearly and confidently with both patients and colleagues
- Can stay organised and manage multiple tasks in a busy environment
- Has basic IT skills and is comfortable learning new systems
What We Offer:
- Full training and support towards a recognised Dental Nurse qualification
- On-the-job learning alongside an experienced dental professional
- A friendly, supportive, and professional team environment
- A great opportunity to build a long-term career progression within dentistry
- Valuable experience in a high-quality private practice setting
Once you successfully complete your Dental Nurse Apprenticeship and become a qualified Dental Nurse, there are many exciting career pathways available within dentistry.
Depending on your interests, you could progress into areas such as:
- Specialist dental nursing, including orthodontics, implants, sedation, or oral surgery
- Dental radiography with further training
- Practice-based roles such as lead nurse or treatment coordinator
- Further education in dental hygiene, dental therapy, or other healthcare roles
Please note that this vacancy may close earlier than the stated deadline if a suitable candidate is found.
