Why do so many Dental Nurses choose S4S Locum Team?
Our vision is simple: to be the No.1 locum dental agency to work with.
We know that attracting great Dental Nurses starts with creating a place where great people genuinely want to work.
That means treating every member of our locum team with respect, appreciation and the support they deserve.
Locum work can be demanding, so we work hard to make your experience with S4S Locum Team as straightforward, supportive and rewarding as possible — from the moment you register to every shift you work with us.
Because we don’t just want you to join S4S Locum Team. We want you to enjoy being part of it.
Your own dedicated regional support
When you join S4S Locum Team, you’ll have a dedicated Area Development Manager responsible for your region and a team that takes the time to get to know you.
We understand that being a locum is about much more than simply being sent available shifts. It’s about finding the right practices, having someone you can rely on when you need support, and working with a team that understands what life as a locum dental nurse is really like.
Many of our team have first-hand experience working within dentistry and as locum dental nurses themselves. That experience helps us provide practical support, honest guidance and a genuinely personal service throughout your journey with S4S Locum Team.
Everything you need, all in one app
Working as a Locum Dental Nurse with S4S Locum Team is simple.
Our easy-to-use app takes care of everything from registration and compliance documents to bookings, availability and timesheets.
Add the days you’re available to work as far in advance as you like, and we’ll only offer you shifts on those days. When a booking is made, you’ll receive a notification and can accept or decline it directly through the app.
Your app also keeps your full work diary in one place, including practice details, shift times, parking information and the full address — with a direct link to Google Maps to help get you straight to the door.
Timesheets are completed and submitted through the app too, keeping everything quick and straightforward.
And importantly, our shifts are not allocated on a first come, first served basis.
We use a fair and ethical booking process based on practical factors such as location, suitability and your previous experience with a practice. That means you don’t need to spend your day constantly checking your phone to compete for shifts.
Your opportunity to earn more!
We believe your flexibility, experience and specialist skills should be properly rewarded.
Alongside competitive Monday-to-Friday rates and enhanced weekend pay, we offer additional earning opportunities including an uplifted same-day booking rate when you step in to help a practice at short notice.
Have additional qualifications or specialist experience? We also offer enhanced rates for specialist nursing shifts, including Sedation, Orthodontics, Implants and Oral Surgery.
Our Locum Dental Nurses are paid monthly, making it easier to plan around regular household bills and monthly commitments.
More flexibility. More recognition for your skills. And more opportunities to maximise what you earn.

Could you be our next Nurse of the Month?
Great work deserves to be recognised.
Our Locum Dental Nurses are a huge part of what makes S4S Locum Team what it is, and we make a point of showing our appreciation throughout the year — from birthday surprises and Easter treats to a simple thank-you when someone has gone the extra mile.
Each month, we recognise two regional Nurses of the Month, with a gift card as a thank-you for their hard work, reliability and contribution to the team.
And at the end of the year, one nurse receives our Nurse of the Year award, along with a few well-deserved gifts!
Because when you do a great job for S4S Locum Team, we want you to know it’s noticed.

Or our next S4S Locum Team Ambassador??
Our Ambassador roles recognise nurses who consistently go above and beyond and represent S4S Locum Team to the highest standard.
Ambassadors play an important part in helping us achieve our vision of being the number one agency to work with and are recognised for the positive contribution they make to our team, our clients and fellow locums.
As an Ambassador, you’ll receive exclusive S4S Locum Team benefits including branded uniform, a hoodie, water bottle, Ambassador badge, tote bag and a monthly gift voucher to spend however you like.
It’s our way of recognising the nurses who really stand out.

Supporting your CPD and development
We want our Locum Dental Nurses to keep developing their skills and confidence.
If S4S Locum Team is your only dental-related job, we’ll provide you with access to our Agilio iLearn CPD platform, giving you a straightforward way to keep on top of your ongoing CPD requirements.
We also organise Core CPD and practical training, including face-to-face courses such as Medical Emergencies and CPR.
And we don’t just focus on compliance. We’re continually looking for opportunities to help our nurses upskill and broaden their experience, including additional training such as iTero scanning.
Because working with S4S Locum Team should help you develop your career, not just fill your diary.
