The post holder will provide clinical support during procedures, including for undergraduates, dental nurse and dental hygiene/therapy students. Conduct dental nurse-led clinics, offering treatments within your extended scope of practice including the application of topical fluoride varnish, the taking of intra and extra oral radiographs and perform other advanced dental nurse procedures such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).

You will be required to assist with dental conscious sedation techniques and manage referrals efficiently. You will deliver clinical training and assessment of students and dental nurses, contributing to their ongoing professional development.
