In this episode of The Dental Chair, host Marguerite Morgan, Founder and Director of Irish Dental Jobs, dives into the unique world of dental recruitment with her co-host, Margaret Kierans, and special guest, Nadine Bishop. Marguerite shares her passion for connecting the right candidates to the right roles, her vision for addressing salary discrepancies, and her deeply personal approach to recruitment.

Margaret kicks things off with an insightful discussion about the lack of salary distinctions between qualified and non-qualified dental nurses. Marguerite explains how employers often prioritise skills and experience over formal qualifications, creating challenges for those looking to advance their careers. The episode also touches on the vision behind Irish Dental Jobs’ recently launched salary guide, which aims to bring greater transparency and fairness to the dental sector.

Joining the conversation, Nadine opens up about her journey initially full-time dental nurse to rediscovering her passion for the field through temporary roles. She shares heartfelt stories of the challenges and rewards of temping, from learning new skills in specialist practices to finding the flexibility she needed for her personal life. Nadine’s experiences highlight the opportunities temping offers for growth and work-life balance.

The episode takes an emotional turn as Nadine reflects on her personal resilience during her battle with breast cancer. Through it all, Marguerite’s unwavering support underscores the deep trust and loyalty that define their relationship.
