How to Choose the Right Training Employer in Dentistry
Starting a career as a dental nurse is exciting — but one of the most important steps is choosing the right training employer.
The right practice won’t just give you a job; it will provide the foundation for your professional growth.
At Frays Dental Education in Uxbridge, we’re passionate about helping aspiring dental nurses find the right pathway.
While many people explore dental apprenticeships in London, we provide private dental nurse training with a strong emphasis
on flexibility, support, and high-quality teaching.
Here’s what to look for when deciding on your training employer:
1. Financial Support
When applying for a training role, check whether your employer supports essential costs such as:
– Course fees
– Uniforms and laundry
– Hepatitis B immunisation and DBS checks
Employers who invest in you early are often more committed to your success.
2. Employee Benefits
Look beyond salary — does the practice offer private medical insurance, dental treatment, or CPR training?
These benefits show they value their team’s wellbeing.
3. Clarity on the Role
Confirm whether the practice is NHS, mixed, or private, and ask if the role is full-time or part-time.
Knowing this helps you understand the type of patients you’ll work with and whether the schedule suits your lifestyle.
4. Training Opportunities
Strong training employers provide in-house training, CPD opportunities, and support in areas like reception or administration.
Also ask how many clinical staff can support your Record of Experience — this can make your progress much smoother.
5. Career Progression
Ask what previous trainees have gone on to do. Great employers are proud of their learners’ success stories
and can show how past dental nurses advanced in their careers.
6. Workplace Culture
Don’t underestimate culture. Supportive, friendly practices that arrange social events often create the best environments
for learning and growth.
