Herefordshire

Posted on 11 September 2025 by Hollie Nend

Hereford and the surrounding Herefordshire area offer fantastic opportunities for locum dental nurses looking for flexibility and variety. With a mix of independent practices and larger dental centres, there’s a steady demand for locum support across both NHS and private sectors throughout the region.

Rural landscape: Herefordshire is a mainly rural county, so practices often struggle to find last-minute cover. This creates good opportunities for locums willing to travel.

Lower competition: With fewer locums in the area compared to cities, those available can secure regular repeat bookings.

Travel needs: Public transport links are limited, so driving is often essential for you covering Herefordshire practices.

Community feel: Smaller, close-knit practices dominate the county, giving you the chance to build long-standing professional relationships.
