Main responsibilities * Clinical nursing: Provide chairside assistance to the Endodontist and Prosthodontist during designated clinical sessions; prepare surgeries before clinics and ensure they are appropriately turned around afterwards; ensure instruments, materials and equipment required for each session are available; maintain high standards of cross-infection control and decontamination. * Referral management: Log into the NHS referral system/RIGA daily and download new referrals; enter referrals onto the appropriate triage tracking sheet; ensure referrals are sent promptly to the relevant clinician for triage; actively chase outstanding triage decisions rather than allowing referrals to sit unactioned; maintain an accurate record of each referral’s progress. * Patient coordination: Once triage has been completed, contact accepted patients promptly; arrange appointments according to clinical priority and service requirements; book appointments accurately into Dentally; communicate appropriately with patients regarding appointments and maintain an organised waiting list; escalate any difficulties with capacity, waiting times or patient contact. * Performer/contract administration: Support the administration associated with clinicians working under the MOS NHS contracts; ensure required performer information and documentation is maintained and up to date; liaise with clinicians regarding outstanding administrative requirements, triage and service delivery; assist management with maintaining appropriate contract records and monitoring activity. * Stock and ordering: Regularly review dental stock levels; anticipate the requirements of upcoming Endodontic and Prosthodontic clinics; place orders in a controlled and sensible manner; avoid both shortages and unnecessary over-ordering; check deliveries and deal with incorrect items, credits and returns; monitor expiry dates and stock rotation. * CQC and compliance support: Work with MOS management and other staff to help maintain the clinic’s CQC compliance; ensure appropriate dental records, logs and checks are being completed; identify outstanding compliance issues and escalate them promptly; help maintain the dental environment in a state of readiness for inspection. * Equipment and surgery management: Take day-to-day responsibility for the dental surgeries and equipment at Refresh; ensure dental chairs and associated equipment are maintained correctly and routine checks are completed; report faults promptly and coordinate repairs/servicing where required; maintain equipment records and ensure servicing requirements are not missed. The person we’re looking for We need someone who is reliable, organised and able to take ownership. This isn’t a role where someone simply turns up, nurses for the clinician and goes home. The right person should be comfortable saying: “I know what is happening with the referrals, I know which patients still need triaging, I know who needs booking, I know what stock we need, and I know whether the dental side of Refresh is running properly.”
