We are looking for a trainee dental nurse to join our team on a permanent, full-time basis for 5 days per week. The role will be shared between our two practices in Portslade. Hours of work are 9.00am - 6.00pm for 4 days of the week with the 5th day being a later finish around 7.30pm. We open one Saturday morning per month and the shifts are shared by the full nursing team which means you would be working a half day Saturday every 2-4 months.
We will consider sponsorship for suitable candidates who are qualified dentists from overseas awaiting their GDC registration or ORE Exam.
Our family-owned practice offers competitive rates of pay, performance bonuses, and incentive schemes as well as free on-street parking, socials, and a supportive working environment.
