Qualified Dental Nurse

Location: Edinburgh City Centre | Job Type: Permanent, Full-Time or Part-Time

We're more than a dental practice. We create an experience. For our patients. For our team. Every day.

Are you a qualified dental nurse who loves making patients feel cared for, takes pride in a calm surgery, and wants to be part of a team that genuinely has each other's backs? Join our award-winning, family-owned private dental practice in the heart of Edinburgh. Whether you're newly qualified or have years of experience, we'd love to hear from you.

About Us

We provide a full range of treatments, including Invisalign, advanced restorative and aesthetic dentistry, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We're proud of our long-standing team members, many of whom have progressed into roles such as treatment coordinator, social media and marketing lead, Invisalign coordinator and practice manager.

With a commitment to work-life balance, we offer compressed working patterns: full-time or Part-time requests are welcomed.
