Locum Dental Nurse Jobs in Penrith & Cumbria
Flexible locum work. Proper support. A team you can be part of.
Looking for Locum Dental Nurse work in Penrith or the surrounding areas of Cumbria that gives you more control over when and where you work?
At S4S Locum Team, you choose your availability. Whether you want occasional locum shifts alongside another role or more regular work as opportunities develop, we’ll work with the availability and travel preferences you give us.
And we want working as a locum with S4S to feel like more than simply being sent a list of shifts.
We get to know our nurses, support them properly and work hard to create a locum team that people genuinely want to be part of.
Why Dental Nurses choose S4S Locum Team
You stay in control of your availability
There’s no minimum number of days you have to work. Tell us when you’re free and we’ll work around you.
Fair shift allocation
We don’t operate a first-come, first-served free-for-all where everyone races to claim a shift. We consider your location, availability, experience, travel preferences and the needs of the practice when offering bookings.
Work that fits around you
A large proportion of our Locum Dental Nurse shifts are booked in advance, helping you plan ahead while still giving you the option to pick up short-notice work when it suits you.
Competitive pay with opportunities to earn more
New Locum Dental Nurses joining S4S Locum Team are paid through PAYE, so we take care of your tax and National Insurance through payroll. Enhanced rates are also available for same-day bookings, weekend work and specialist nursing shifts.
Technology that makes locum life easier
Our S4S Locum Team app helps you manage your availability, receive shift offers, view bookings and complete electronic timesheets — all in one place.
Support from real people
You’ll have support from our recruitment and Area Development teams throughout your time with S4S. If you need help or advice, there’s a real person at the other end of the phone.
CPD, development and recognition
We support our nurses with CPD, practical training and development opportunities, alongside Nurse of the Month, Nurse of the Year and opportunities for standout team members to progress into S4S Ambassador roles.
