Level 3 Diploma in Dental Nursing

Vicky has worked in Dentistry for nearly 28 years as a nurse, receptionist, and practice manager and joined Cavity as a locum nurse in 2019 for some variety!

She quickly fell in love with the Health & Wellbeing side of the business and so trained with us a mental health first aider with a qualification from MHFA England as well as completing the Managing Occupational Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace IOSH Qualification. Vicky supports all our students not only with our face to face health & wellbeing, but is also our safe guarding lead within the business. Having completed her CAVA and AET qualifications , she knows exactly what demands are on the student nurses she also teaches a small group herself helping her to keep up to date with all training requirements.

Vicky loves watching football, going away in her campervan for weekends or to festivals. Listening to music and playing the guitar. A food lover, she enjoys going out for meals and trying new places and foods.

I started with Cavity in September 2018 as a locum dental nurse, I have a lot of experience in Ortho as well as Endo and also enjoy working as part of the prison nurse team!  After  completing my AET in March 2023 I started teaching in the April. I am also a qualified as an assessor.

I am a big fan of live music and try and get to as many gigs as I can, I enjoy going to the gym and currently challenged myself to read 3-4 books every month!

Jackaleen qualified in 2014, then gained her orthodontic certificate in 2021, followed by her sedation certificate in 2023, all while locuming with Cavity Dental Staff. When the opportunity presented itself for her to gain her CAVA Level 3 Certificate in Assessing Vocational Achievement, Jackaleen jumped at the chance, and is now progressing toward gaining her tutoring qualifications.

In her free time she is a keen motorcyclist and is a member of a female only club, the Curvy Riders. As well as being an avid gamer, she also enjoys an evening in with board games.

After qualifying as a dental nurse in 2018, Emma trained in Oral surgery at the LDI, in addition to post reg courses such as fluoride application and impression taking and almost went on to train as a dentist until she discovered all the amazing opportunities with Cavity. Since joining the Cavity team in late 2018 as a locum nurse, she has become a fit tester, assessor, and tutor, has enjoyed the opportunity to work with the Dental Maverick’s team in Morocco as part of the Cavity charity support initiative and even prison work. ‘The Company has given me a real passion to share my skills’.

In her down time Emma and her dog Beau enjoy walking, Rugby Union and a cuddle on sofa in front of a great movie.

I qualified as a Dental Nurse in 2002. I then furthered my knowledge by gaining my Oral Health Education, Radiography and Sedation qualifications as well as my PTTLS.

I joined Cavity as a locum Dental Nurse in 2020 and since then have gained my assessor qualification.

In my spare time I like to keep fit by dancing, enjoy travelling especially to places where I can indulge my passion in history and love getting lost in a good book.

I am looking forward to this new chapter of training and seeing Dental Nurses progress in their careers.
