I joined Cavity as a Locum Dental Nurse in 2017. Prior to joining Cavity, I worked as a Dental Nurse for 13 years for both Private and Corporate companies. I trained as an Implant Nurse however would of much preferred Orthodontic Nursing.

Whilst working for Cavity, I have had the time to study for a Degree in Counselling Theory & Practice and a CIPD Diploma in Human Resource Practice, two areas which I have always been extremely interested in studying.

I have been delighted to accept the Head of Safeguarding & Welfare (Designated Safeguarding Lead) role within the Cavity team and work towards creating an open and transparent culture around Health & Wellbeing within the company.

I have been part of the wider Cavity family since 2006 when I joined as a locum dental nurse.

After 7 years of nursing as a locum in many different settings and learning many new skills, I moved into management where I built up a team of over 50 locum nurses covering 7 counties.

I have also over the last 3 years headed up the locum hygiene and dentist aspect of Cavity growing the team to over 500 workers nationwide!

Since returning from maternity leave I have the pleasure of being Head of Dental Provision for Cavity Training, helping to manage and grow the dental side of the training business.

As a qualified dental nurse (still registered) myself who has also completed post qualifications, I know what is required to help and encourage nurses to reach their full potential and into a job with satisfaction and where they can progress in with further qualifications.

Outside of work I don’t have time for many hobbies except trying to wrangle my two young daughters, which in itself is a full time job!

I have enjoyed a long-varied career. I take pride in seeing others develop and achieve their goals. I have been in training for almost 20 years ensuring quality of programmes, developing and delivering level 3 & 4 Dental Nursing courses and FS Maths. Before teaching & gaining my Certificate in Education, Internal Quality Assurance & Assessors awards, I completed my Dental nurse training in an NHS practice then went on to specialised job roles in Oral Health Education, Epidemiology, Oral Maxillofacial Surgery & Orthodontics within community & hospital settings. Worked as a civilian Dental Nurse/OHE/trainer for the Ministry of Defence.  Post qualifications in Sedation. OHE and Dental Radiography.

I enjoy walking my 2 crazy springer spaniels, going away in our campervan & on holidays abroad.

Lauren joined Cavity in July 2016 working in the Head Office as a booking’s coordinator, handling all enquiries that came in for locum nurse cover. Over the last 7 years she has gained a rapport with both practices and nurses so when a new opportunity arose to help start up Cavity Training, she jumped at the chance. Her role within the Training Team is dealing with our course enquiries, recruitment, admin work for our already enrolled learners and working alongside the team training colleagues to ensure we provide the best Dental Nursing Courses for all our learners and clients.

When Lauren is not working, she creates bespoke celebration cakes which is her creative outlet! She also enjoy shopping, spending time with friends and family and after recently moving house… enjoying lots of DIY/ Home Improvements!
