Permanent | Full-Time or Part-Time | Mixed 50:50 | Head Nursing Responsibilities
Step Up Your Dental Nursing CareerAn established mixed dental practice in Caterham, Surrey is looking for an experienced Dental Nurse to join the team in a role combining clinical nursing, some reception work and Head Nursing responsibilities.
This is a particularly good opportunity for a Dental Nurse who is ready to take on more responsibility within the practice and play a key role in supporting the Practice Manager and wider team.
The practice is happy to consider both full-time and part-time applicants, with a minimum commitment of 2–3 days per week.
The more responsibility you are able to take on and the more you can support in taking the workload away from the Practice Manager, the stronger the potential for the higher end of the salary range.
📍 The Role
The practice operates Monday–Friday, with 1 Saturday per month from 09:00–13:00.
Standard hours are:
08:15–17:00
with one late day running 08:15–18:30.
The practice can accommodate either a full-time or part-time arrangement, provided you're able to commit to a minimum of 2–3 days per week.
🩺 More Than Just Chairside Nursing
This isn't a role focused solely on day-to-day chairside support.
Alongside your Dental Nursing responsibilities, you'll have the opportunity to take on Head Nursing duties, provide some reception cover and help support the overall running of the practice.
For someone looking to progress beyond a purely clinical nursing role, it offers the chance to become a more integral part of the team and take greater ownership of the nursing side of the practice.
You'll be involved across:
The practice is looking for someone with enough experience to work confidently and take ownership of their responsibilities.
You'll be supporting the Practice Manager, with the potential to command the higher end of the £16–£18ph range if you're able to take a significant amount of responsibility off the Practice Manager and provide strong support across the practice.
This could therefore suit a Dental Nurse who is ready for a step up in responsibility and wants to develop their leadership experience.
