What are we looking for?

We’re looking for a dynamic and experienced Dental Nurse to join our growing team at Keast Mews, a modern and purpose-designed private dental practice in Saltash.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the team within a developing practice known for patient-centred, high-quality care. As part of Smile Together, you’ll be contributing our broader mission to improve access to quality dentistry across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Innovative Dental Nurse Career Pathway:

Grow and develop within a supportive environment where you can pursue special interests, gain qualifications, and even care for your own list of patients in nurse-led clinics.

Why Join Us?

We’re more than just a dental practice, we’re proud to be

• the UK’s first dental practice to be B Corp certified
• a Community Interest Company (CIC)
• proud to be employee-owned, giving our team a voice within the business

This means we’re committed to doing business differently for the benefit of our people, the communities we serve, and our planet. From reducing our environmental “toothprint” with sustainable practices, to playing an active role in improving oral health across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, our mission goes beyond dentistry: we change lives and we’d love you to be part of that!

What Makes Us Unique?

Employee-Owned: Be more than an employee – become a co-owner, shaping the future of Smile Together.

B Corp Certified: We use business as a force for good, socially, environmentally and ethically

Community Focused: Every day, we work to improve the health and wellbeing of Cornwall’s residents, with special attention to vulnerable and underserved communities.

Mentorship and Professional Development:

We’ll help you develop your skills with access to our Smile Together Training Academy, including a paid subscription to Agilio for continuous professional development, mentorship opportunities, and unique chances to work across Cornwall.

Paid Indemnity & GDC Registration:

We’ve got you covered so you can focus on your career.

Workforce Benefits Package:

Occupational pension scheme, 27 days paid annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata), National Living Wage Employer, and an extra paid day off to celebrate your birthday!

Unique Employee Ownership Benefits:

Shareholder Opportunities: Have a real voice in shaping the future of our employee-owned company.

Community Involvement:

Engage in impactful community projects like our coastal outreach and support for Health for Homeless Cornwall. Opportunity for half a day’s paid volunteer time such as through our partnership with Plant One with a charity of your own.

Fun and Engaging Team Events:

From BBQs on the beach to our ‘Smile (Get) Together’, we know how to have fun while making a difference!

Health and Wellbeing:

Comprehensive Wellbeing Support: Through our Health Assured Programme, you’ll have access to tools for mental and physical health, including 24-hour helplines, structured therapy, and more.
