About Cavity Dental Staff

I have built up over 18 years a loyal workforce to ‘fill the gap’. Couple that with my personal experience as a Practice Manager and we aim to make practices staffing pains go away.

We look to build up long-term commercial relationships with Dental Practices. To help them benefit when the time comes that they are short on staff cover, we also provide other services such as our jobs board and DBS checks, we aim to be the ‘One Stop Shop‘ for all our clients needs.

I have been with Cavity since 2007.  I initially joined as a part time locum nurse… My role has completely transformed since then and I am now the Managing Director.  My main job is to support the boss and everyone else in Cavity!

In my spare time I enjoy socialising with my friends & family.  I enjoy travelling, eating out, going to football matches & drinks in country pubs.  I also enjoy keeping fit and taking long walks with my husband & daughter.

I joined Cavity as a Locum Dental Nurse in 2017. Prior to joining Cavity, I worked as a Dental Nurse for 13 years for both Private and Corporate companies. I trained as an Implant Nurse however would of much preferred Orthodontic Nursing.

Whilst working for Cavity, I have had the time to study for a Degree in Counselling Theory & Practice and a CIPD Diploma in Human Resource Practice, two areas which I have always been extremely interested in studying.

I have been delighted to accept the Head of Safeguarding & Welfare (Designated Safeguarding Lead) role within the Cavity team and work towards creating an open and transparent culture around Health & Wellbeing within the company.

I have been a qualified dental nurse for 20 years, and I have been working with Cavity since 2015.  I started working with the Cavity booking team, and then moved to Admin Compliance in 2016, where I ensure all our new nurses are compliant and remain so while working with Cavity.  This role is great for me as I love to organise!  I have also manage our DBS service where we are able to complete application forms for our own nurses and offer this service to other dental practices who are looking to carry out checks on their own staff under our DBS umbrella company.

I have been part of the wider Cavity family since 2006 when I joined as a locum dental nurse.

After 7 years of nursing as a locum in many different settings and learning many new skills, I moved into management where I built up a team of over 50 locum nurses covering 7 counties.

I have also over the last 3 years headed up the locum hygiene and dentist aspect of Cavity growing the team to over 500 workers nationwide!

Since returning from maternity leave I have the pleasure of being Head of Dental Provision for Cavity Training, helping to manage and grow the dental side of the training business.

As a qualified dental nurse (still registered) myself who has also completed post qualifications, I know what is required to help and encourage nurses to reach their full potential and into a job with satisfaction and where they can progress in with further qualifications.

Outside of work I don’t have time for many hobbies except trying to wrangle my two young daughters, which in itself is a full time job!

My dental career started in 2012 in a small practice in the High Wycombe area, I trained here and obtained my Dental Nurse qualification.   With my husband being in the Royal Air Force, we were sent to Germany where I worked in the military dental department for 3 years.  On returning to England, I worked in a small practice in Royal Wootton Bassett for 18 years until the practice changed hands, it was then I decided to try locum nursing,  I joined Cavity as a nurse initially, and soon found myself in the Regional Managers position. I have built up a great team of nurses and clients in my area, which continues to grow.  I am keen to chat to anyone who is interested in finding out more about becoming a locum nurse.  I know I had many questions before I made the decision take the leap, I have never looked back.

My core values include not to expect anyone to do anything I wouldn’t want to do myself.

When I am not at work you will mainly find me on a golf course, whacking my balls (as the boss puts it)

Lizzy Pyle began her career in dental nursing in 2010, gaining extensive experience in private practice, where she earned her NEBDN qualification and specialized certifications in Sedation and Implants from SAAD. In 2014, she joined the Cavity team full-time as a nurse, where her skills and dedication quickly led her to advance into management roles. Starting as an Area Manager, Lizzy moved up to Regional Manager and now serves as Cavity’s National Workforce Manager alongside Lisa Steer.

As National Workforce Manager, Lizzy is the go-to contact for all employee needs—from recruitment and scheduling to daily logistics (including those last-minute car park directions!). Lizzy combines her practical expertise with a friendly, solution-oriented approach, embodying her core value: treat others as you’d like to be treated, while always saying “yes” to new challenges.

In addition to her full-time role, Lizzy is pursuing an Accountancy apprenticeship, which she expects to complete by October 2025.

When not at work, Lizzy lives on a dairy farm in North Devon with her partner and two beloved pets: Bertie the Cat and GG, a playful Cocker Spaniel.

I began my dental career as a student Dental Nurse at Newcastle upon Tyne Dental Hospital in 1987. I qualified in 1989 with what was the NEBDSA qualification, now recognised as NEBDN.

In 1990 I married a soldier and moved to Germany where I spent 5 years working in an Army dental centre with the Royal Army Dental Corps. We treat soldiers and their families, any visiting troops from the UK and any NATO troops on exercise. It was a very interesting and varied job as we did everything from RA sedation to old fashioned orthodontics, oral surgery and everything in between. An invaluable learning experience and I loved every minute of it.

On return to UK our posting was to Winchester, so I took a position with the Community Dental Services in Southampton, and then Community Dental Services in Winchester where I stayed until our next posting.

I then left dentistry behind only to return around 12 years later working in a practice that specialised in implants – another massive learning curve and a local dental practice.

And then in 2015 I was given the opportunity to join Cavity and so here we are!

I have lived in England, Wales, Scotland, Germany twice, and Cyprus and have been fortunate to travel to many other countries.

You will find me during football season sat in my seat at St James’ Park watching my football team Newcastle United whose matches I have followed since I was about 7 years old!

Our Head Office team consists of the Booking Team – Sarah, Holly, Megan and Oliver, Lauren in the Accounts Department and Marlena our Office Assistant.  Between them they are all in the office from 07.30am to 19.00pm each day.
