• Support the practice in developing its domiciliary and accessibility-focused dental care services

Requirements:

• GDC registration and right to work in the UK
• Current professional indemnity cover
• Experience with elderly or medically compromised patients is an advantage
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Compassionate, professional, and patient-centred approach

What We Offer:

• A supportive, fully equipped clinic with patients ready and waiting to be seen
• Flexible working hours and autonomy in clinical decision-making
• A friendly, experienced team providing both administrative and clinical support
• CPD and opportunities for professional development
• The chance to make a real difference to patients often underserved by traditional dental services
