A Personal Message from our Founder:
Hello Marguerite Morgan here, Founder & Director of Irish Dental Jobs. I wanted to personally reach out. At Irish Dental Jobs, “people matter” isn’t just a tagline — it’s the heart of everything we do. We only partner with dental practices who share our belief that people come first, because our nurses deserve workplaces where they’re truly valued.
"Something I truly believe — and often share with our clients — is that our temporary dental nurses are among the very best in the country.". I know it can feel daunting at first — stepping into new practices, new teams, new routines — but time and again I’ve seen our nurses grow in confidence, meet amazing dental professionals, learn new techniques, and achieve the work–life balance they we are all searching for.
Many of our dental nurses came to us after having their first baby, unsure about leaving their little one. What started as a short-term option turned into something bigger — some have now been with us for over 10 years. That sense of family and continuity is what makes our team so special.
If you’re looking for flexibility, growth, and a genuinely supportive community, I’d love for you to consider joining our incredible team of Dental Nurses at Irish Dental Jobs.
