    £15–£16.5 hourly
    Full-time
    Amersham

    Nurse Role overview We are looking for an experienced, organised and proactive Dental Nurse to support our specialist NHS dental services at Refresh Medispa. This is a varied role combining clinical dental nursing, referral administration, patient coordination, stock management and day-to-day oversight of the dental facilities. The successful candidate will work closely with our Endodontic and Prosthodontic clinicians and will become the key person responsible for ensuring that the dental side of the clinic runs smoothly. 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.”

  • Live-In Carer – Private Family Home
    Live-In Carer – Private Family Home
    1 month ago
    Part-time
    Wooburn Green

    We are looking for a kind, reliable and flexible live-in carer to support a lovely 92-year-old lady in her home. This is a calm and rewarding role, suited to someone who enjoys caring for an older person while also appreciating a relaxed home environment and having plenty of personal time. The Role The lady has an established daily routine, with support required at four key times: • 7.00am – Morning routine, assistance with washing and getting ready, breakfast and medication, • 1.00pm – Lunch, with some companionship and conversation, • 6.00pm – Dinner and offering support as required, • 10.15pm – Assistance with the bedtime routine The total active care time is approximately 2.5 hours per day. Outside of these key times, the carer will have substantial free time to pursue their own interests, relax, read, work or go out as appropriate. However, an important part of the role is being a reassuring and responsible presence in the home, particularly when the family are out. The successful candidate should therefore be comfortable with a live-in arrangement and understand that, although the active care hours are limited, they are part of the household and provide an additional layer of support and reassurance. Flexibility The care times are established, but we are looking for someone who can be flexible around the day and family requirements. The position will be based on 5 days on duty and 2 days off each week, with the two days off being flexible throughout the month. This allows the family to arrange the days off around holidays, appointments, weekends away and other family commitments. We are looking for someone who can work collaboratively with the family and provide some flexibility when required. The Household The lady lives in a comfortable family home, where her daughter and son-in-law also live. They both work primarily from home, so they will be around much of the time but are generally working and will not be available to provide the day-to-day care. The successful candidate will therefore become an important part of the household, working alongside the family while taking responsibility for the lady's daily care and wellbeing. There is also a gentle, playful and friendly dog in the household, so the successful candidate should be comfortable around dogs. Accommodation & Benefits • Private bedroom, • Private bathroom, • Accommodation provided free of charge, • Approximately 2.5 hours of active care per day, • Significant free time between the established care routines, • A comfortable and friendly family environment, • Two flexible days off each week About You We are looking for someone who is: • Warm, caring and compassionate, • Patient and trustworthy, • Reliable and responsible, • Comfortable working independently, • Flexible and able to adapt to family needs, • Respectful of an older person's independence and privacy, • Happy living as part of a family household, • Comfortable around dogs, • Experienced in caring for older people, either professionally or through relevant personal experience preferred, • A good communicator who will keep the family informed of any concerns This is not a 24-hour active care position. The lady's care needs are relatively light, with approximately 2.5 hours of active support each day. The key requirement is having someone dependable in the home who can provide care at the established times and be a reassuring presence when family members are away. The role would suit someone looking for a comfortable live-in position with meaningful but relatively light caring responsibilities, plenty of personal time and the opportunity to become a valued member of a friendly household.
