About The Role
As a Regional Dental Nurse you will be responsible for providing high-quality clinical and operational support across multiple dental practices throughout the North East region, covering Tyne and Wear, and County Durham. This role involves travelling between practices to provide flexible nursing cover, ensuring continuity of patient care, maintaining compliance with regulatory standards, and supporting practice teams during periods of annual leave, sickness, recruitment gaps, and increased patient demand.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

Frequent travel throughout Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Gateshead, and County Durham is an essential part of the position.
