This reputable, small animal practice in West Yorkshire is in need of a full time dental / anaesthetic nurse to join them. The role is full time, working 35-40 hours per week across 4 days. It also has a shared 1 in 4 weekend rota.
The hospital has a large multi-disciplinary team of around 70 colleagues and they are looking for an experienced nurse with a passion for Surgery, Anaesthesia and primarily Dentistry.

The referral services they offer include orthopaedic & soft tissue surgery, medicine, oncology, laparoscopy, endoscopy, imaging (both ultrasonography & CT), as well as a busy Dental Practice; providing both general, preventative and referral dental services in-house Monday to Friday.
This requires a nurse who is comfortable providing anaesthetic support to all procedures, surgeries (both general and referral), and dentistry at the hospital. They are primarily looking for a nurse passionate about dentistry, who would spend the majority of their shift coordinating dental clinics, running/stocking/overseeing the IM3 purpose-built Dental Suite, doing dentals (inc.
