Trainee Dental Nurse – Angle House Edmonton

Are you looking to start a rewarding career in dentistry? Angle House is looking for a Trainee Dental Nurse who is enthusiastic, caring, and eager to learn, to join our friendly and supportive team.

As a Trainee Dental Nurse, you’ll receive hands-on experience, structured training, and the opportunity to develop the skills needed for a long-term career in dentistry. We are passionate about developing our people and actively promote from within, offering excellent progression opportunities.

This is a full-time, fixed-term maternity cover for 13 months, starting in January 2027 (40 hours per week, Monday to Friday). As this is a fixed-term role, you may not be able to complete your Dental Nursing qualification while working at Angle House.

• Comprehensive training and development opportunities

• Paid training support including Agilio membership (iLearn) and Angle House Education
