Apprentice Dental Nurse

We’re excited to welcome an Apprentice Dental Nurse who’s ready to grow their confidence, learn from an experienced team, and gain hands‑on experience in a supportive, high‑quality practice.

Newcastle-under-Lyme Dental Practice is a long‑established private practice based in a beautiful Victorian building opposite Newcastle High School. Conveniently located near Stoke with easy access to the M6, our six‑surgery practice has been caring for patients for over 50 years. We’re particularly well known for cosmetic dentistry, implants, and Invisalign treatment.

You’ll be joining a friendly, knowledgeable team who genuinely enjoy mentoring and supporting each other. We’re proud of the warm, encouraging environment we’ve built for both patients and colleagues.
