Key Responsibilities & Duties
As a Dental Nurse / Receptionist, you will be integral to the daily operations of the practice. Your responsibilities will be split between clinical assistance and administrative tasks, requiring excellent multitasking and communication skills.
Clinical Nursing Duties:
- Prepare surgeries for treatments, ensuring all instruments are sterilised and ready for use according to CQC and HTM 01-05 guidelines.
- Assist the dentist during a wide range of procedures, including fillings, extractions, root canals, and hygiene appointments, providing efficient chair-side support.
- Manage infection control protocols meticulously, including the cleaning and sterilisation of all dental equipment and maintaining a clean clinical environment.
- Prepare materials such as impressions, cements, and composites as required by the dentist.
- Provide clear and reassuring patient care, explaining procedures and offering post-operative advice.
- Accurately update patient records on the clinical software system following each appointment.
Reception & Administrative Duties:
- Be the first point of contact, greeting patients in a warm, professional, and confident manner, both in person and over the phone.
- Manage appointment scheduling, bookings, and cancellations efficiently using the practice management software.
- Handle patient enquiries, process payments, and explain treatment plans and costs with clarity and sensitivity.
- Maintain patient confidentiality and ensure all data protection (GDPR) regulations are strictly adhered to.
- Manage stock levels for clinical and administrative supplies, placing orders as needed.
- Ensure the reception and waiting areas are tidy, welcoming, and well-presented at all times.

- Valid GDC registration (or proof of application).
- Up-to-date knowledge of infection prevention and control (IPC).

Key Personal Skills
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills.

- Strong organisational skills and impeccable attention to detail.
