Associate Dentist

About us We are looking for a full time or part time associate to join our friendly team at our busy 3 and 2 surgery Practices. We are an independent practice – family owned for the last 40 years. We are professional, agile, innovative, and our goal is to delivery high quality patient care and treatment. Fully computerised, digital x-rays and rotary endodontics (for both NHS and Private). We are predominantly NHS, but also have many Practice Plan and independent Private patients. The new associate would take over a well-established busy patient list, with availability of up to 6000 UDA at a UDAs rate of £28.44. At this current time, we are at NHS capacity, and concentrating on maintaining our current patient basis, with new patients being accepted on a Private basis. Our dental team includes long standing content associates of many years, including one who has been with us for 17 years. Similarly, our DCPs include two Senior Nurses with a combined 42 years experience, and all DCPs have been trained in-house and remained with the Practice post-qualification.

Applicants must be GDC registered, have an active performer number, at least 2 years experience working within the NHS (with minimum of two references covering this period) and appropriate indemnity cover.
