About Us
At Providence Dental Care, we believe everyone deserves to look forward to coming to work each morning.
Great workplace cultures don't happen by accident.
They are built by good people who genuinely care about their patients, support their teammates, and take pride in what they do.
We aren't building a volume-based practice.
We're building a relationship-based practice where patients feel genuinely cared for, appointments are never rushed, and our team enjoys coming to work.
We provide general dentistry, crowns and bridges, implants, orthodontics and specialist paediatric dentistry using modern technology and evidence-based care.
Our focus is simple.
Treat people well.
Build genuine relationships.
Deliver exceptional dentistry.
The Role
We're looking for an experienced dental nurse who brings energy, initiative and professionalism to everything they do.
You'll be comfortable assisting across a broad range of procedures while helping keep the clinical side of the practice running smoothly.
This includes chairside assisting, sterilisation, surgery setup, stock management and supporting efficient clinical workflows throughout the day.
This role is ideal for someone who notices what needs doing before they're asked, enjoys being organised and takes genuine pride in maintaining high clinical standards.
We're also looking for someone who enjoys making things better.
If you see a process that could be improved, we'd love to hear your ideas.
We value people who enjoy refining systems, improving organisation and helping our practice continually become more productive without compromising patient care.
For the right person, there is a genuine opportunity to become our Senior Dental Nurse, helping lead the clinical support team, mentor junior staff and oversee the day‐to‐day running of the clinical side of the practice.
Hours
There is flexibility for the right person.
Thursday is the next planned clinical day as the practice continues to grow,



with the opportunity for this role to expand to four days per week and potentially full‐time if desired.
The role is primarily weekdays, however some Saturday work may be required from time to time as the practice grows.
