About the role

The apprenticeship in dental nursing is an 18-month government funded course by City & Guilds, a Level 3 Extended Diploma. Alongside your learning your job role within the practise will entail assisting dentists, sterilising & preparing equipment, reception duties and supporting patient experience. At Rodericks Dental Partners, you’ll be part of a clinically led organisation where learning, teamwork, and career development are central to everything we do. While completing your apprenticeship, you'll gain real responsibility from day one. Your role could include supporting dentists and specialists in a patient-focused setting, assisting with surgery setup, equipment checks, and sterilisation, ensuring documentation and patient records are completed correctly, and promoting excellent standards of care aligned with Rodericks values, following practice policies, safeguarding, and compliance guidelines. With experience, you could progress into roles such as Senior Dental Nurse, Lead Nurse, Practice Manager, or Regional Support roles. With support from Rodericks Dental Partners' professional training and development programmes, you could further qualify as a Dental Hygienist or Dental Therapist, playing a key role in preventative and routine patient care.
