About the role

Tempdent is recruiting for a permanent Qualified Dental Nurse to join a well-established mixed NHS/private practice in the South West London area. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking for stability, a supportive team, and a practice that is keen to welcome someone for the long term.

This is a 3-surgery practice with a strong team culture, long-standing patients, and a warm, easy-going environment. The team has a lovely working relationship and is looking for someone who wants to become a valued part of the practice for years to come.

You will mainly be supporting one dentist full-time, with additional exposure to implantology / oral surgery sessions once per month. This is a varied role that would suit a confident, organised Dental Nurse who enjoys working closely with a clinician while also being part of a wider supportive team.

Working hours

  • Monday: 8:30am – 6:00pm
  • Tuesday: 8:00am – 2:30pm
  • Wednesday: 9:00am – 7:00pm
  • Thursday: 8:00am – 6:00pm
  • 1 Friday per month: 8:00am – 2:00pm
  • 1 Saturday per month: 8:30am – 1:30pm

The role

  • Chairside support during general dental treatments
  • Preparing surgeries, instruments and materials ahead of clinics
  • Assisting with smooth patient flow throughout the day
  • Supporting excellent patient care and helping patients feel comfortable
  • Maintaining high standards of decontamination and infection control
  • Supporting occasional implant / oral surgery sessions
  • Keeping the clinical environment organised, clean and efficient

The ideal candidate

  • Qualified Dental Nurse
  • GDC registered
  • Previous dental nursing experience
  • Friendly, reliable and team-focused
  • Someone genuinely looking for a long-term role rather than a short-term stop-gap

Why join them?

  • £15–£17 per hour, depending on experience
  • Dental care
  • CPD
  • Uniform provided

This is the kind of role candidates often ask for but don’t always find — a genuinely welcoming team, supportive day-to-day environment, long-standing patients, and a practice that values loyalty and team fit. The practice is looking for someone who wants to settle in, enjoy their work, and become part of a stable and friendly team.

If you’re a Qualified Dental Nurse looking for a permanent opportunity within a well-run mixed practice, we’d love to hear from you.
