Give Dental Nurses a pay rise / set hourly rate
Give Dental nurses a set hourly rate which is fair for our qualified jobs that we have studied for. And not leave it to our employee to pay us minimum wage for a job we have had to study for and have a qualification for.
We are working in people's mouths / covid highest risk job.
We have to get a qualification to become a dental nurse to earn minimum wage! (Not living wage)
People working in retail are earning more
Dentist couldn't do their job without a nurse so pay us fairly and appropriate for what we do full time
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Dental nurses are usually employed directly by dental practice owners, so decisions about dental nurses' terms and conditions of employment, including pay, are a matter for practice owners, and not the Government or House of Commons.
You could start a petition calling for the Government to increase the pay band for dental nurses employed directly by the NHS, if this something you would like to happen.
