Want to develop the next generation of Dental Nurses whilst maintaining clinical responsibilities?
We are seeking a knowledgeable and motivated Dental Nurse Assessor to support and assess an apprentice dental nurse throughout their training journey.
This is an evolving role, and the postholder’s expertise will be key to developing and implementing a robust apprenticeship training programme. The role will include mentoring the apprentice, assessing practical competence and underpinning knowledge, maintaining accurate learner records, and ensuring training meets awarding body and regulatory requirements.
The postholder will also be expected to work clinically as part of the dental team while their Dental Nurse competencies are completed and signed off, helping to maintain professional practice and support the delivery of high-quality patient care.
This is a hybrid role, with a minimum of one clinical day per week and up to two hybrid working days, where service requirements allow.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced dental professional who is passionate about education, quality, clinical excellence, and training the next generation of dental nurses.
