Main Duties of the Job

Conduct dental nurse-led clinics, offering treatments within your extended scope of practice including the application of topical fluoride varnish, the taking of intra and extra oral radiographs, and performing other advanced dental nurse procedures such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).
You will be required to assist with dental conscious sedation techniques and manage referrals efficiently.

Our clinical sessions run Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. Flexibility in your approach to work is essential, and you will need to work at other clinics across Norfolk and Waveney, so the ability to travel is necessary.
