Job description

Dental Nurse | Cleveland Terrace Dental Practice | Darlington

Cleveland Terrace Dental Practice in Darlington is looking for a Dental Nurse to join our friendly and supportive team on a permanent basis.

This is a great opportunity to join a busy 5-surgery practice, where you'll work alongside a variety of experienced clinicians and gain exposure to a broad range of treatments.

We're ideally looking for a qualified Dental Nurse, but we're also happy to consider someone currently undertaking their dental nursing training who is looking for a supportive practice where they can develop their skills and build their career.

We provide a mix of general and specialist dentistry, including endodontics, implants and visiting specialist clinicians, giving you plenty of opportunity to broaden your experience.

What We Offer

• Permanent position - 4 days per week
• Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday - 8:25am-5:10pm
• Annual GDC, Indemnity and CPD funded
• Competitive pay
• Pension
• Paid day off for your birthday
• Funded postgraduate qualifications
• Exposure to implants, endodontics and specialist dentistry
• Structured support and training for trainee nurses
• Dedicated staff room
• Opportunities to develop your clinical skills and progress your career

About The Role

As a Dental Nurse at Cleveland Terrace, you'll work across our five surgeries alongside a range of clinicians.

Our nurses move between surgeries, giving you the opportunity to develop a broad range of clinical experience rather than working with the same clinician every day. You'll support dentists and visiting specialists across a variety of treatments, giving you exposure to both general and more advanced areas of dentistry.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing chairside support to dentists and clinicians.
• Preparing surgeries and equipment for a range of treatments.
• Supporting clinicians during general and specialist procedures.
• Maintaining high standards of infection prevention and control.
• Taking part in the decontamination room rota.
• Ensuring surgeries are well maintained, clean and fully prepared for patients.
• Supporting the smooth running of the practice.
• Helping patients feel comfortable, reassured and well cared for throughout their visit.

Our reception team is kept separate from the nursing team, allowing you to focus on your clinical responsibilities and patient care.

About You

We're ideally looking for a qualified and GDC-registered Dental Nurse, although we're also happy to consider someone currently completing their dental nursing training with recent chairside experience.

You'll be:

• Friendly, approachable and professional.
• Reliable, organised and committed to maintaining high standards.
• A confident communicator who enjoys working with patients and colleagues.
• Comfortable working as part of a busy, close-knit team.
• Keen to learn and develop your clinical skills.
• Committed to providing excellent patient care.
• Someone who takes pride in their work and wants to build a long-term career in dentistry.

About Cleveland Terrace Dental Practice

We're a team of perfectionists, overachievers, fun seekers and empathetic humans, all driven by the same goal: creating an exceptional dental experience from start to finish.

We believe in supporting our people to develop and progress, whether that means building confidence in general dental nursing or gaining experience in more specialist areas such as implants and endodontics.

You'll be joining a team where no two days are quite the same, with the opportunity to work alongside different clinicians, develop your skills and gain valuable experience across a wide range of dentistry.

If you're a qualified Dental Nurse or trainee looking for a permanent opportunity with a supportive team, varied clinical experience and genuine opportunities to develop your career, we'd love to hear from you.
