Qualified​/Trainee Dental Nurse - Northwood & Maida Vale

Dental Nurse – Northwood & Maida Vale Practices

Due to our continued business growth,
The Dental Design Studio
is looking for a
Dental Nurse
to join our friendly and committed team across our
Northwood and Maida Vale practices
.

The successful candidate will ideally be
fully qualified and GDC registered
. However, candidates who are currently enrolled on a recognised Dental Nursing training course and have a
minimum of 6 months' experience working in a dental practice
will also be considered.

Due to the size and busy nature of our practices, candidates must have at least 6 months' practical experience, be confident working independently, and have experience assisting with surgery procedures. The successful candidate will also be required to provide reception cover when needed, so flexibility across both clinical and reception duties is essential.

Knowledge of the
SFD dental computer system
would be an advantage but is not essential.

Candidates will need to demonstrate experience in the following areas:

• Provide high-quality dental nursing support, assisting dentists with all procedures in a safe and effective manner.
• Work confidently and independently within the surgery.
• Follow all practice policies, procedures and protocols.
• Maintain professional registration with the GDC, where applicable.
• Undertake CPD in line with GDC guidelines.
• Establish, promote and maintain productive working relationships with all members of the dental team.
• Assist with reception duties and undertake other clerical or administrative duties when required.
• Provide reception cover when required and support the smooth running of the practice.
• Take reasonable care of your own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by your work.
• Comply with all Health & Safety requirements and guidance, including PPE, COSHH, infection control, waste disposal and the safe handling of substances.
• Ensure full compliance with CQC requirements and practice standards.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Is confident working independently and able to use their own initiative.
• Is flexible and willing to support both clinical and reception duties.
• Is reliable, professional and well organised.
• Works well as part of a team.
• Has a positive attitude and a good sense of humour.
• Is committed to providing excellent patient care and maintaining high professional standards.
