Join Our Growing Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Team

Are you looking for a role that's more than just a job? This is your chance to be part of a supportive and dynamic team in a busy Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery practice. You'll work directly alongside specialists and dentists, playing an important role in delivering exceptional patient care.

This position offers variety and professional growth—you'll gain hands-on experience both chairside and behind the scenes, from assisting with surgical procedures under local anaesthetic to preparing hospital theatre lists and managing key administrative tasks. No two days will look the same, making this the perfect role for someone eager to build their skills and thrive in a fast-paced healthcare setting.

What We Offer

Key Responsibilities

  • Preparing surgical bookings and hospital theatre lists
  • Assisting with minor procedures under local anaesthetic (training provided where needed)
  • Sterilisation and infection control processes
  • Digital model preparation and minor lab work
  • Stock management and external lab coordination
  • Data entry, follow-ups, and maintaining accurate patient records
About You

We're looking for someone who is organised, approachable, and adaptable. You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy variety, can balance clinical and admin responsibilities, and bring a positive, professional attitude to the team.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • Previous experience in a dental or specialist medical practice (highly regarded but not essential)
  • Excellent communication and people skills
  • Strong attention to detail and organisational ability
  • Confidence to work independently and take initiative
  • A mature, professional approach to handling sensitive information
  • Comfort with digital tools and willingness to learn new systems
  • A proactive, "can do" attitude in a busy environment

If you're enthusiastic about healthcare, love learning, and want to make a difference to patients' experiences, we'd love to hear from you
