UK

Horizon Dental Jobs works with a number of dental clinics across London, sourcing experienced Medical/Dental Receptionists to run the front of house. This isn’t a clinical role — it’s about keeping a busy NHS, private or mixed practice’s reception desk smooth and welcoming.

Once you register, we match you against live vacancies that fit the way you want to work, and handle the introduction from first contact through to offer — so you only hear about roles that genuinely suit your experience and availability.

Your profile

  • Previous reception or administrative experience in a healthcare or dental setting (or a strong transferable background in customer-facing admin roles)
  • Confident using dental practice management software (e.g. SOE/Exact, Dentally, or similar) — training provided where needed
  • Comfortable managing a busy phone line, appointment book and patient queries simultaneously
  • Professional, friendly manner — often the first point of contact for nervous patients
  • Right to work in the UK

Key responsibilities

  • Manage the front desk — greet patients, manage check-in/check-out and keep the waiting area running smoothly
  • Handle bookings — manage appointment scheduling, cancellations and recalls across the clinical team’s diaries
  • Support the practice — handle billing queries, insurance/payment processing and general patient correspondence
