Dental Nurse

As a Dental Nurse at UHBW, you will play a vital role in delivering high‑quality dental care to our patients. Working closely with our dental professionals, you will ensure the smooth operation of our clinics and contribute to our commitment to improving oral health in the community.

• Monitor and maintain a high standard of cleanliness and infection control in line with current codes of practice and trust policy.
• Provide four‑handed dentistry throughout the patient's treatment, anticipating the clinician's needs and any possible complications, including assisting in the management of medical and dental emergencies.
• Provide clinical support and advice for the dental team.
• Identify each patient's medical, dental, and personal needs within a wide range of treatments and procedures before, during and after the patient is discharged from clinic.
• Advise triage and prioritise dental emergency patients to ensure they receive the most appropriate care in a timely manner.

As an equal‑opportunity employer, we actively work towards a diverse workforce and design our services around the needs of individual patients and those around them.

We have vacancies at the Bristol Dental Hospital and in our Primary Care Dental Service. Bristol Dental Hospital is a Centre of Excellence providing routine and specialist clinical dental services for the South‑West, and we are seeking dedicated Band 4 Dental Nurses to join our Dental Nursing Team.
