About the role

This role will provide efficient and reliable chairside support to clinicians while ensuring high standards of patient care, confidentiality, and GDPR compliance. Day-to-day Dental Nurse duties may include welcoming patients and assisting with appointment scheduling, handling basic patient enquiries professionally and appropriately, preparing surgeries, sterilising instruments, and maintaining infection control to CQC standards. You will also assist clinicians during treatments and accurately update patient records in line with GDPR, support patients’ comfort, reassurance, and overall dental experience, monitor and manage stock, equipment, and surgery readiness, maintain clean, safe, and fully equipped clinical areas, uphold patient privacy, dignity, and confidentiality at all times, and collaborate with dentists and the wider team to deliver safe, efficient, and high-quality care. A career in dental nursing can grow in many rewarding directions, with opportunities to progress into roles such as Senior Dental Nurse, Lead Nurse, Treatment Coordinator, or Practice Manager. With further training, you could develop into a Dental Hygienist or Dental Therapist, delivering preventative, restorative, and routine treatments to patients, or specialise as an Orthodontic Therapist.
