Do you ever have that fed up feeling where you don’t want to get out of bed to go to work?
Have you ever considered becoming a locum dental nurse?
With a different place to visit each day and new people to see that fed up feeling will be a thing of the past.
Locums often go in and save the day and so there is no greater feeling of appreciation. And did I mention that agencies pay more than dental practices?
Jaky’s story:
My journey with Cavity started when I asked to go part time at my previous practice. I had just got married and was planning to start a family and wanted to cut down a bit. But I was denied of this simple request and told full time or nothing and so I started looking for other options and discovered Cavity. Before I knew it, I had an interview with Sharon who bought me a coffee in the pub next to where I worked. We chatted, exchanged paperwork and I joined the team! Here I am 10 years later!

What does a day in the life of a locum really look like?
7.30am: Leave the house for work (time varies depending on where you are working that day).
8.45am: I’m at the practice. I go in and cheerily introduce myself by name to the receptionist who shows me round the practice. I familiarise myself with today’s day list, the drawers and equipment, Decon room and where the essential stock is.
9.00am: The dentist has now arrived and seems lovely! I call the patient in and off we go!
13.00pm: Lunchtime (I normally bring my lunch just in case there isn’t a shop nearby!).
14.00pm: Back to work!
17.10pm: The final patient has left the surgery so it’s time to clean down.
17.30pm: The receptionist signs my timesheet and it’s time for me to go home.
18.30pm: I am home and my rota has now been emailed to me I text my manager and confirm receipt. I can see where I’m going next week. (Sometimes it may change, but you always get notice if this happens)
