Dental nursing is a rewarding, professional career with lots of opportunities to progress and develop.

You can become a trainee dental nurse by enrolling in the NEBDN diploma course.

As part of the course requirements, you will need to find your first job working as a trainee in a dental practice for at least 16 hours.

We understand some students are nervous about being able to find a job but at Smilewisdom we have made the process simple with lots of support and guidance for trainee dental nurses

CV and cover letters

At Smilewisdom, we have a range of CV and cover letter templates to give you a head start on your job search. Your CV and cover letter will look professional and appealing to dentists. Once you have picked the template you like we will read over giving you our feedback and correcting any errors.

It might take time to create the perfect CV but don’t fret! We work with you to edit your CV and cover letter until you are happy that it showcases all your skills. Many of our students come from non-dental backgrounds so we are well-versed in making the transferable skills stand out. We know that trainee dental nurses need to be empathetic and skilled multi-taskers and we know all the best ways to highlight your past experience to help you to shine.
