Dental Nurse | Cleveland Terrace Dental Practice | Darlington

Cleveland Terrace Dental Practice in Darlington is looking for a Dental Nurse to join our friendly and supportive team on a permanent basis.

This is a great opportunity to join a busy 5-surgery practice where you’ll work alongside a variety of experienced clinicians and gain exposure to a broad range of treatments. We are ideally looking for a qualified Dental Nurse, but we’re also happy to consider someone currently undertaking their dental nursing training who is looking for a supportive practice to develop their career.

We provide a mix of general and specialist dentistry, including endodontics, implants and visiting specialist clinicians, giving you plenty of opportunity to build your skills and experience.

What We Offer

• Permanent position, Monday to Friday
• Working hours: 8:25am – 5:10pm
• Competitive pay
• Pension
• Paid day off for your birthday
• Funded postgraduate qualifications
• Exposure to implants, endodontics and specialist dentistry
• Structured support and training for trainee nurses
• Dedicated staff room
• Opportunities to develop your clinical skills and progress your career

About the Role

As a Dental Nurse at Cleveland Terrace, you’ll work across our 5 surgeries alongside a range of clinicians. Our nurses move between surgeries, giving you the opportunity to develop a broad range of clinical experience rather than working with the same clinician every day.

Your role will include supporting dentists and clinicians during a variety of treatments giving you exposure to more advanced areas of dentistry.

You’ll be responsible for maintaining high standards of infection prevention and control, supporting the smooth running of the surgeries and taking part in our decontamination room rota.

Most importantly, you’ll play an important role in making sure our patients feel comfortable, supported and well cared for throughout their visit.

Our reception team is kept separate from the nursing team, allowing you to focus on your clinical responsibilities and patient care.

About You

We’re ideally looking for a qualified and GDC-registered Dental Nurse, although we’re also happy to consider someone who is currently completing their dental nursing training.

You’ll be friendly, approachable and professional, with a reliable and organised approach to your work. You’ll be a confident communicator who genuinely enjoys working with patients and colleagues and takes pride in providing excellent care.

About Cleveland Terrace Dental Practice

We’re a team of perfectionists, overachievers, fun seekers and empathetic humans, all driven by the same goal: creating an exceptional dental experience from start to finish.

We believe in supporting our people to develop and progress, whether that means building confidence in general dental nursing or gaining experience in more specialist areas such as implants and endodontics.

If you’re a qualified Dental Nurse or trainee looking for a permanent opportunity with a supportive team, varied clinical experience and opportunities to develop your career, we’d love to hear from you.

The Envisage Dental Group is certified B-Corp, we celebrate collaboration and transparency. We are proud to be an inclusive equal opportunity workplace. We have created a workforce that is reflective of our diverse patient and practice communities, that promotes positivity, and we believe this is critical to our success. We do not discriminate based upon race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other legally protected characteristic.

As part of our commitment to closing the Gender Pay Gap and ensuring equal opportunities for all candidates, we do not request or consider salary history at any stage of our recruitment process. Our compensation decisions are based on the requirements of the role, relevant skills and experience, and our commitment to fair and equitable pay.

Abbeymead Dental Centre | Chertsey, Surrey 12–18 Month Maternity Cover | Full-Time | Flexible 4- or 5-Day Working Pattern

Abbeymead Dental Centre is looking for an experienced and confident Business Development Manager to join our established team in Chertsey, Surrey.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys developing people, improving businesses and making a positive difference. The role is initially offered as a 12–18 month maternity cover, with the potential for the right opportunity beyond this period.

Abbeymead is a well-established, predominantly private, purpose-built eight-surgery practice over two floors, with a fantastic long-standing team. The clinical team includes both self-employed clinicians and employed colleagues, creating a varied and dynamic working environment.

We are looking for someone who can balance the day-to-day management of a busy private practice with driving sustainable growth, colleague engagement and exceptional patient care. This is not a role where you will simply maintain the status quo. You will have the opportunity to build on an already successful practice, introduce new ideas, develop the team and identify opportunities to improve performance and continue the practice’s growth.

With the support of your Director of Clinic Support (DOCS), you will take responsibility for the operational, financial and commercial success of the practice.

You will be a visible and approachable leader, working closely with colleagues and clinicians to create a positive, collaborative culture. You’ll bring energy and fresh thinking to the practice, while respecting the strong foundations and relationships already in place.

A key part of the role will be leading positive change. We are looking for someone who enjoys identifying opportunities, implementing improvements and bringing people with them. Previous change management experience would be highly beneficial.

Lead, motivate and inspire a high-performing clinical and administrative team, creating a positive and collaborative culture through coaching, mentoring and effective communication.

Conduct daily huddles, regular one-to-ones and monthly practice meetings, while supporting recruitment, onboarding and succession planning.

Develop colleagues through ongoing performance and development plans, manage annual leave and sickness absence, and support colleague performance.

Build strong working relationships with both employed and self-employed clinicians, encouraging engagement and creating enthusiasm around new ideas and ways of working.

Take ownership of the practice’s financial and commercial performance, demonstrating strong commercial awareness and business acumen.

Analyse KPIs, financial reports and operational data to identify opportunities for growth, translating business insights into practical actions that improve productivity, profitability and patient experience.

Work towards revenue, EBITDA and Annual Operating Plan targets, conducting regular business reviews and implementing action plans where required.

Oversee payroll approvals, associate payments and practice expenses, while developing and supporting local marketing initiatives to increase patient growth and strengthen the practice’s reputation.

Ensure the smooth and effective day-to-day running of the practice, optimising clinician diaries, recalls and utilisation.

Oversee equipment servicing and maintenance, manage stock levels and quarterly stock takes, and handle patient complaints professionally, empathetically and efficiently.

Maintain excellent standards of compliance, including CQC, health and safety and other regulatory requirements.

Identify opportunities to improve processes and ways of working across the practice.

Build strong relationships with clinicians, associates and central support teams, including Finance, Marketing, Recruitment, HR and IT.

Work closely with the Director of Clinic Support and wider leadership team, attending regular leadership meetings and contributing to the wider business.

Support neighbouring practices where required and identify opportunities for business development and continued practice growth.

• Flexible full-time working pattern across 4 or 5 days per week
• Competitive salary
• Leadership development and genuine career progression
• Ongoing support from the Envisage Dental leadership team
• Company pension scheme
• Employee referral rewards
• Additional birthday leave
• Quarterly team socials and annual celebrations

We’re open-minded about your background, and dental experience isn’t essential. You may currently be working in dental practice, healthcare, professional services or another commercially focused environment. What matters most is your ability to lead people, understand commercial performance and drive positive change.

You won’t be expected to come in and change everything overnight. Instead, you’ll have the opportunity to understand the practice, build relationships with a fantastic long-standing team and work alongside the clinicians, before using your experience, ideas and leadership skills to develop the practice further and help shape its next stage of growth.

We are looking for someone who is:

• A confident and engaging leader
• Commercially aware with strong business acumen
• Experienced in managing and developing teams
• Proactive and comfortable taking ownership
• Able to analyse performance and turn insight into action
• Experienced in, or comfortable with, leading change
• Excellent at building relationships and engaging people
• Organised, resilient and able to manage competing priorities
• Passionate about delivering an exceptional patient and colleague experience

This is an exciting role for someone who wants to make a genuine impact. If you’re an experienced manager who enjoys leading people, developing businesses and making a positive difference, we’d love to hear from you.
