A locum dental nurse is someone who covers short-term or long-term shifts at different dental practices to help and give an extra hand when needed. It is a flexible way to work, offering control over when and where you work.

Fill in your details on the form and upload your required documents (GDC number, DBS, indemnity, and hep B certificate.) and set your availability. Once verified, you can start applying for shifts at once.

To work through our platform, you must upload:

• A valid GDC registration certificate
• A current Enhanced DBS check
• Professional indemnity insurance
• Hep B certificate

Yes, all dental nurses must sign a contract before joining our agency and accepting any placements. This ensures that both parties understand their responsibilities, terms of engagement, and compliance requirements. The contract outlines key details such as:

• Terms of engagement (e.g., freelance or agency worker)
• Professional conduct expectations
• Shifts and availability
• Payment terms
• Confidentiality and data protection
• GDC registration and compliance obligations

We will provide the contract during the registration process and are happy to answer any questions before you sign.

Payments are made securely via our platform, usually within 5-10 working days after your timesheet is approved.

Yes, most locum dental nurses operate on a self-employed basis. You are responsible for your own tax and National Insurance contributions. You may want to register with HMRC as self-employed if you haven’t already.

No! All rates are set with the company and bonuses will be rewarded. 

Yes you can, but If you accept a shift, you are expected to attend and complete it. Cancellations at short notice can cause significant disruption to practices, so a cancellation fee may apply for late withdrawals (typically within 24 hours of the shift start time). You would need to CALL a senior member of staff.
