Dental Nurse

Looking for a Dental Nursing role that offers flexibility as well as purpose?

We're building a brand-new Oral Health service in Tower Hamlets and are looking for a passionate Dental Nurse to join us on a fixed term basis to establish early oral health programmes for children in schools and early years settings across Tower Hamlets.

This is your opportunity to do more than provide treatment. You'll work directly with children and families in schools and community settings, delivering preventative, educational and dental health promotion that helps improve oral health, reduce inequalities and create healthier futures. You'll support children to build lifelong healthy habits while helping families access the care they need.

Working alongside school nurses, public health colleagues and a wider multidisciplinary team, you'll play a key role in shaping a new service from the very beginning. From fluoride varnish programmes in schools to supervised toothbrushing programmes and delivering oral health promotion activities, no two days will be the same.

If you're passionate about prevention, enjoy working with children and want to see the lasting impact of your work across an entire community, this is a role where your skills will genuinely change lives.

Your clinical skills are important, but it's your passion for prevention that will make the biggest difference.

You're someone who believes every child deserves the opportunity to grow up with a healthy smile. You enjoy working with children and families, building trusted relationships and helping people make positive changes that improve their health for years to come. You act with integrity, value others, find practical solutions and take pride in delivering high quality care that makes a real difference.

For this role, essentially you'll need:

• National Diploma in Dental Nursing Level 3 or Diploma in Dental Nursing Level 3 or equivalent
• NEBDN Certificate in Oral Health Education or equivalent
• Registered with the General Dental Council.
