Trainee Dental Nurse
We’re looking for a trainee who’s already making good progress in their course and is now ready to join a practice where they can build confidence, learn from an experienced team, and get hands-on exposure to high quality dentistry.
This role is a little different from a standard trainee position. We can offer full-time hours until around March or April next year. After that, we can guarantee two set days a week, with the option to pick up extra shifts to cover holidays. Because the hours change later on, the role is ideal for someone on a commercial dental nurse course or self-funding. We’re also open to supporting the course costs for the right person.
