About this role
Surgical lists, every week, in a clinic built around them.
Implants are the centre of what Truly does. Our Galway surgery runs planned surgical lists supported by digital planning and in-house scanning, and we are hiring an experienced surgical nurse to hold that side of the clinic together, the trays, the stock, the sterile field and the patient on the day.
The cases you will be assisting on
Single and multiple implant placements
Full-arch and immediate-load cases
Surgical extractions and bone grafting
Sinus lifts and soft-tissue procedures
Guided surgery using digitally planned stents
The parts of the job that happen away from the chair
Setting up the sterile field and instrument trays before each list, checked against the plan
Owning implant stock end-to-end: components, surgical kits, expiry dates, reorder points
Post-operative follow-up calls and reviewing how patients healed
Keeping traceability records tight enough to survive an audit on any given day
Bringing the general nursing team along most of them want to learn surgical, and you are the
person who teaches them
This role fits you if
You are registered with the Dental Council of Ireland
You have two or more years assisting implant or oral surgery cases
Aseptic technique is second nature, not something you look up
A long list does not rattle you, and you can read what the surgeon needs before it is asked for
