Our team culture is built around high standards, respect, accountability and teamwork, with patient experience at the heart of everything we do. We believe our people are the heart of the practice, and everyone has an important role to play in delivering the best possible experience for our patients.
We're continually looking for ways to improve and support our colleagues to develop their skills and, depending on your interests and ambitions, there may be opportunities to take on additional responsibilities and areas of delegation.

This is an exciting opportunity to work within a specialist private dental practice, where you will be an important part of the patient journey from the moment they contact us through to the completion of their treatment.
You will be the first point of contact for many of our patients, creating a warm and welcoming environment while providing a professional and efficient reception service. You will work closely with clinicians and the wider practice team to ensure the smooth running of the practice and an outstanding patient experience.
Working Hours
Enjoy a consistent two-day working pattern, offering a consistent working pattern and a great work-life balance:
- Wednesday: 7:45am-5:00pm
- Saturday: 7:45am-2:00pm
The Role
As a Receptionist at Riverside Dental, you'll play a key role in delivering an outstanding patient experience and ensuring the smooth and efficient running of our front-of-house operation.
