The Role: More Than Just Nursing
At The Dental Barns, we don’t just treat teeth; we care for people. We’re looking for a Dental Nurse who understands that clinical excellence is only half the story.
In our calm, luxury environment, we practice unhurried care. Every patient who walks through our doors should feel like the most important person in the room.
Why this role is different
Your role goes beyond traditional chairside nursing. You’ll be a key part of a team that puts the patient experience first, always. This is a role for someone who notices the details and takes pride in doing things beautifully.
- The Environment: Work in a calm, beautiful space where "rushed" isn't in our vocabulary.
- The Soft Touches: You’ll look after the little things that make a big difference — warm face towels, noise-cancelling headphones, comfort cushions, and a perfectly prepared room.
- Anxiety-Free Dentistry: We specialise in caring for nervous patients. Your role is to bring warmth, reassurance, and calm, turning anxious visits into positive experiences.
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about people and their wellbeing, brings natural warmth and empathy to their work, and wants to move away from high-volume, rushed dentistry into something more meaningful, calm, and patient-focused.
If you care about doing things properly, working in a calm, beautifully run practice, and being part of a team that values quality over speed, you’ll feel at home at The Dental Barns. We’ve designed both our practice and our workflows to support you, not burn you out — so you can focus on patients, take pride in your work, and actually enjoy your days at work.
