The apprenticeship in dental nursing is an 18-month government funded course by City & Guilds, a Level 3 Extended Diploma. Alongside your learning, your job role within the practice will entail assisting dentists, sterilising and preparing equipment, reception duties, and supporting patient experience.

At Rodericks Dental Partners, you’ll be part of a clinically led organisation where learning, teamwork, and career development are central to everything we do. While completing your apprenticeship, you'll gain real responsibility from day one. Your role could include:

  • Supporting dentists and specialists in a patient-focused setting
  • Assisting with surgery setup, equipment checks, and sterilisation
  • Ensuring documentation and patient records are completed correctly
  • Promoting excellent standards of care aligned with Rodericks values
  • Following practice policies, safeguarding, and compliance guidelines

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
