The Role

Truly is looking for two qualified Dental Nurses to cover chairside shifts across our smaller clinics: Charlestown, Bray, Citywest, Cherrywood and Donnybrook.

These are full-time roles, but not fixed to one surgery. Our smaller clinics run tight teams, and when someone is on leave or a list gets busy, they need a nurse who can walk in and get straight to work.

You will not be doing the same day twice, and by the end of your first few months you will know five teams and five ways of working rather than one.

It suits someone who likes variety, reads a room quickly, and would rather be useful in five places than comfortable in one.

Key Responsibilities

• Chairside assistance across general, restorative and hygiene appointments, in whichever clinic you are covering that day

• Picking up the rhythm of a new surgery fast, where things live, how that team runs its lists

• Turning surgeries around between patients and running the decontamination cycle end to end

• Taking and processing radiographs, if you hold the certificate

• Keeping clinical notes accurate and same-day on our practice software

• Flagging stock that is running low in the surgery you are in that day

• Settling anxious patients, a real part of the job here, not an afterthought

Your days and locations vary week to week, and your rota is confirmed in advance so you can plan around it.

What We're Looking For

• Dental Nurse qualification (Irish Diploma in Dental Nursing / NEBDN UK / equivalent) preferred.

• Non-qualified candidates with at least 1 year of dental nursing experience will also be considered.

• Experience across multiple treatments is desirable but not essential (training provided).

• Strong infection control and surgery preparation skills.

• Familiarity with dental software (Dentally preferred, training available).

• Strong communication skills and a patient-first mindset

• Someone comfortable working with a different team each day

• Someone who notices the small things

Important Details Before Applying

• €16–18 per hour, depending on experience

• Full-time hours across our Dublin and Bray clinics, on a rota confirmed in advance

• Funded CPD and in-house training with our clinical leads

• Uniforms provided and staff dental care

• Five teams who will know your name, and clinical leads across the group who will see your work

Truly is an equal opportunities employer. We welcome applications from every background.
