Job Description
Carer Agency is actively seeking a skilled and personable Dental Nurse / Receptionist for a key temporary-to-potential-permanent position within a modern, busy dental practice located in the heart of Cardiff CF10. This unique dual role offers an exciting opportunity for a healthcare professional who thrives on variety, combining the clinical support duties of a dental nurse with the essential front-of-house responsibilities of a dental receptionist. The practice is renowned for its patient-centred care and commitment to excellence, serving the local Cardiff community with a wide range of general and cosmetic dental treatments. As a vital member of the team, you will be the first point of contact for patients, setting the tone for their visit, while also providing crucial chairside assistance to ensure smooth and efficient clinical operations.
Applying for this role through Carer Agency provides significant advantages. We act as your dedicated advocate, connecting you directly with premier employers in Cardiff's healthcare sector who trust us to find reliable, qualified staff. We handle all the administrative complexities, from payroll to compliance, allowing you to focus on your professional duties. Our consultants have in-depth knowledge of the local dental and medical job market in Cardiff, meaning we can match you not only with this immediate opportunity but also with future roles that align with your career aspirations, whether you're seeking temporary flexibility or a permanent position. Just as we successfully place Domiciliary Care Workers in Coventry CV1 and specialist Healthcare Staffing in London, we are experts in matching talent with need in the dental field.
Key Responsibilities
- Chairside Assistance: Prepare surgeries for a variety of dental procedures, ensuring all instruments are sterilised and ready. Actively assist the dentist during treatments by passing instruments, operating suction devices, and mixing materials, while maintaining impeccable infection control standards.
- Patient Reception & Administration: Manage the front desk, welcoming patients, checking them in, and handling appointments via the practice software. Process payments, manage patient records with strict confidentiality, and handle incoming calls and email enquiries in a professional manner.
- Patient Care & Communication: Provide clear pre- and post-operative advice to patients, reassuring nervous individuals and ensuring they are comfortable and informed throughout their visit. This role is central to maintaining the practice's reputation for outstanding patient experience.
- Clinical Support & Stock Management: Conduct basic dental radiography (subject to qualification), process lab work, and ensure clinical areas are fully stocked. Responsible for monitoring and ordering dental supplies and materials to prevent shortages.
- Compliance & Team Support: Adhere strictly to CQC standards, Health and Safety regulations (including COSHH), and GDPR data protection policies. Work collaboratively with dentists, hygienists, and other staff to ensure the practice runs smoothly and efficiently every day.
What We're Looking For
- A recognised qualification as a Dental Nurse (e.g., NVQ Level 3, NEBDN) is highly desirable. Candidates with substantial experience as a Dental Nurse/Receptionist will also be considered. GDC registration is a strong advantage.
- Proven experience in a dental nursing role, with solid familiarity of dental procedures, terminology, and sterilisation protocols. Previous reception or administrative experience within a healthcare setting, preferably dental, is essential.
- Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, with a warm, calm, and empathetic telephone and face-to-face manner. The ability to manage a busy front desk while maintaining attention to detail in clinical support is crucial.
- Strong organisational skills, proficiency with dental practice management software (e.g., SOE, Exact, Software of Excellence), and a committed, flexible attitude. A reliable professional who understands the importance of teamwork in a clinical environment.
Salary & Benefits
We offer a highly competitive pay rate for this Dental Nurse / Receptionist position in Cardiff CF10, which will be reflective of your qualifications, experience, and the specific requirements of the practice. Pay is processed weekly, providing you with regular and reliable income. As a temporary worker with Carer Agency, you benefit from our streamlined payroll system, ensuring you are paid accurately and on time for all hours worked.
Beyond the financial remuneration, this role offers substantial career benefits. You will gain invaluable experience in a modern dental setting, enhancing your clinical and administrative skill set. There is a genuine potential for the role to become permanent for the right candidate, offering long-term stability. You will also become part of Carer Agency's network, giving you priority access to other dental nurse jobs in Cardiff and similar healthcare roles across the region should you seek variety in the future. We support your career development just as we support businesses with solutions like Recruitment Outsourcing in London.
