A major initiative to recruit over 100 apprentice dental nurses throughout England in the next 18 months has been launched by national dental corporate Genix Healthcare Limited.

With 22 clinics across England and further plans for expansion, Genix Healthcare will increase its workforce by almost one third through the apprentice programme with an investment of around £250,000.

The Genix Healthcare Apprenticeship Programme, run in partnership with City Training Services, will provide comprehensive training support for candidates for as long as three years taking them through to achieve a level three qualification. After an induction candidates will work in a practice, fully supervised by experienced staff, and have the opportunity to progress to an Advanced Apprenticeship in Dental Nursing (level 3). Further training through the 'Genix Academy' offers potential for candidates to take further education.
