Job Title: Dental Nurse Assistant

Location: Canary Wharf, London E14 5RB

Salary: 14.20 per hour (negotiable based on experience)

Job Type: Full Time - Permanent

Operating Hours: Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00

We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Trainee Dental Nurse Assistant to join our modern, multidisciplinary clinic in Canary Wharf. This is an exciting opportunity to gain practical experience not only in general and cosmetic dentistry, but also in facial aesthetics such as Botox, dermal fillers and whitening procedures.

About the Practice:

Established in 2021, our state-of-the-art clinic is dedicated to delivering high-quality care in a patient-focused, spa-like setting. We offer a full spectrum of services including general dentistry, hygiene appointments, aesthetic treatments and access to specialist care through our flagship South Quay site. Our approach combines clinical excellence with advanced technology, allowing patients and team members alike to thrive in a modern and supportive environment.

Why Join Us?

You'll work alongside skilled professionals and gain hands-on experience from day one. Whether your interest lies in general restorative care or non-invasive aesthetics, you'll be mentored in both fields. Our team stays ahead of industry trends and innovations-giving you exposure to a truly dynamic clinical setting.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist clinicians during dental and aesthetic procedures including fillings, whitening, veneer preparation, extractions and injectables (Botox and dermal fillers)
• Maintain high standards of cleanliness and sterilisation throughout the surgery
• Prepare and care for instruments and treatment areas
• Accurately update and maintain digital patient records
• Provide calm, reassuring and professional support to patients

What We're Looking For:

• Friendly, professional communicator with a strong interest in both dentistry and patient care
• Proof of enrolment on a GDC-approved dental nursing course
• Comfortable working with clinical IT systems
• Excellent attention to detail and eagerness to learn
• Interest in aesthetic treatments and modern cosmetic techniques
• Hepatitis B vaccination
• Professional appearance and hygiene awareness
• Valid right to work in the UK (visa and National Insurance number)

What We Offer:

• Full training in both general dental procedures and facial aesthetics
• Exposure to cutting-edge treatments in a high-end, spa-like clinic environment
• Mentorship from experienced clinicians in both dental and cosmetic care
• Opportunity to work closely with our South Quay flagship site and access to specialist referral pathways
• Pension scheme, holiday allowance and access to a wellness programme
• Excellent transport links: Tube, DLR, bus, car and River Bus

Why This Role Stands Out:

This is more than a typical trainee dental nurse position. Here, you'll build expertise in both oral health and aesthetic medicine, setting yourself apart with a broader skill set. If you're passionate about patient care, forward-thinking, and eager to learn in an innovative clinical setting, this is the role for you.

How to Apply:
Please submit your application exclusively through this platform. Applications through other channels will not be considered. If shortlisted, our dental recruitment team will be in touch to arrange an informal chat before scheduling your interview with the clinic.

Take the next step in your dental career-right at the centre of Canary Wharf. We look forward to hearing from you.
