Full Time – 37.5 hours per week
Fixed Term with Substantive Option
We have a fantastic opportunity for a qualified dentist to join our busy Public Dental Service, working in a salaried dental practice setting within modern and well-equipped surgeries. This is an excellent opportunity to join an evolving remote and rural dental team, with a strong focus on patient-centred care and continuous improvement.

The workforce consists of dentists, therapists, hygienists, dental nurses, oral health educators and high-quality, dedicated dental support staff.
Shetland is a great place to live and to work, offering a strong and welcoming community spirit, a safe environment for children, excellent schools and first-rate transport links to the rest of the UK.
