Looking to take your Dental Nursing career further in a private practice with a varied clinical offering? A friendly, two-surgery practice in Ware, Hertfordshire, is seeking a proactive and personable GDC‑registered Dental Nurse to join its close-knit team.

This is a hands‑on role offering exposure to general and advanced private dentistry, including implants, Invisalign and composite bonding. You'll also have the opportunity to develop your knowledge of digital dentistry and scanning techniques.

If you enjoy being actively involved in clinical work, thrive in a smaller team and are keen to keep developing your skills, this could be an excellent next move.

Friday: 8:00am–4:00pm

Saturday: 8:00am–3:30pm, one in every four Saturdays

This is a permanent, full-time position with no bank holiday commitments.

You’ll be joining a small, fully private dental practice where teamwork and a hands‑on approach are important.

The practice has two surgeries alongside an additional Treatment Coordinator (TCO) room, creating an environment where everyone can play an active part in the smooth running of the day.

Using SOE software, the practice provides a varied range of private treatments, combining routine dentistry with more advanced clinical procedures.

• General private dentistry
• Dental implants
• Invisalign
• Composite bonding
• Digital dentistry and scanning

This opportunity offers more variety than a role focused solely on routine chairside nursing.

You’ll support clinicians across a range of treatments, gaining exposure to different techniques and workflows within private dentistry.

For a nurse interested in developing their clinical knowledge, there’s scope to build experience in implant procedures, aligner treatment, cosmetic dentistry and digital scanning.

Already experienced with digital scanners? That would be a real advantage. However, previous scanning experience isn’t essential, as the practice is looking for someone with the right attitude and enthusiasm to learn.

As part of the clinical team, you’ll provide practical support across the practice and help ensure patients receive a professional, reassuring experience.
