Job Description

Competitive
Full Time
Cardiff & South Wales

Horizon Dental Jobs works with independent and group practices across Cardiff and the wider South Wales area, sourcing Dental Nurses for NHS, private and mixed clinics. We place candidates into both long-term permanent roles and shorter-term cover, depending on what fits your circumstances.

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 preferences and availability.

Your profile

  • GDC-registered Dental Nurse, ideally with some UK clinical experience
  • Comfortable assisting across a range of general and preventive treatments
  • Confident with decontamination, cross-infection control and accurate record-keeping
  • A calm, reassuring manner with nervous or anxious patients
  • Right to work in the UK

Key responsibilities

  • Assist chairside — support the dentist through examinations, treatment and routine procedures
  • Manage decontamination — follow HTM 01-05 and practice protocols for sterilisation and infection control
  • Look after patients — help set patients at ease and keep them informed before, during and after treatment
