Dental Nurse

Company: Complete Smiles UK & Northern Europe
Apply for the Dental Nurse
Location: Bournemouth
Job Description:

Are you an experienced Dental Nurse who knows how to run a surgery like clockwork? Someone who takes pride in getting things right, leads by example and makes life easier for everyone around them?

We’re looking for a brilliant Qualified Head Dental Nurse to join our recently opened, growing 2-surgery private dental practice in Bournemouth.

We’re a friendly, ambitious team with big plans for the future. We take dentistry seriously. Ourselves? Slightly less so! We want our practice to be somewhere people genuinely enjoy coming to work.

If you’re ready to take ownership, step into a leadership role and grow with us, we’d love to meet you!

What’s the role?

We want someone who can take charge of the nursing side of the practice and make it their own.

You’ll work closely with our Practice Manager, helping to keep our surgeries organised, our clinicians supported and our clinical standards exceptional.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading the day-to-day running of our two dental surgeries.
  • Providing excellent chairside support and outstanding patient care.
  • Overseeing infection control, decontamination, stock and equipment.
  • Maintaining clinical compliance and supporting CQC and GDC standards.
  • Supporting and mentoring other nurses as the team grows.
  • Improving systems, workflows and the overall patient experience.

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just follow systems but helps make them better!

Who are we looking for?

  • A qualified Dental Nurse with current GDC registration.
  • Strong chairside experience and excellent clinical knowledge.
  • A confident, organised and proactive individual who takes initiative.
  • Someone who genuinely cares about patients and supports their team.
  • A natural leader who’s ready to take on more responsibility.

Previous Head Nurse or Senior Nurse experience is a bonus, but we’re equally interested in an experienced Dental Nurse who’s ready to step up.

Experience with Dentally is advantageous, but not essential.

  • Competitive salary, dependent on experience.
  • Genuine opportunities for career progression and leadership development.
  • The opportunity to take ownership of the nursing department.
  • A friendly, supportive and ambitious team.
  • Ongoing training and professional development.
  • Birthday bonus and additional annual leave.
  • Staff dental discounts, company events and employee perks.
  • Company pension and uniform provided.

Ready to make your mark?

We’re not looking for someone who simply turns up and nurses.

We want someone clinicians love working with, patients feel comfortable around and the team can rely on.

If you’re an experienced Dental Nurse ready to take the lead and grow alongside a practice that’s going places, we want to hear from you!
