Whether you are looking for the stability of a permanent role with a highly lucrative private patient book, or the flexibility and premium day rates of locum work, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

Our client practices boast state-of-the-art equipment (including digital X-rays, rotary endo, CBCT scanners, and intraoral scanners) and excellent support teams, allowing you to focus entirely on delivering outstanding clinical and cosmetic care.

Key Responsibilities
Clinical Excellence: Provide high-quality general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry to a fully private patient base.

Patient Care: Maintain a calm, welcoming, and premium environment, ensuring a 5-star patient journey from consultation to aftercare.

Compliance: Ensure all clinical notes, treatments, and procedures strictly adhere to GDC standards, CQC regulations, and practice policies.

Collaboration: Work closely with a skilled team of Treatment Coordinators (TCOs), Dental Nurses, Hygienists, and Practice Managers to maximize clinical efficiency.

Requirements
Registration: Full, active registration with the General Dental Council (GDC).

Experience: Minimum of 2+ years of clinical experience post-qualification, with a proven track record of delivering private/cosmetic treatments.

Portfolio: A strong portfolio of previous private work (e.g., Invisalign, composite bonding, veneers, or implants) is highly advantageous.

Insurance: Valid professional indemnity insurance.

Attitude: A high level of clinical expertise, exceptional communication skills, and a patient-first, premium service approach.

Benefits
High Earning Potential: Excellent percentage splits on all private treatments and high earning potential for cosmetic and restorative work.

Flexibility: Choose the days that suit your schedule—ranging from 1 to 5 days a week.

Established Books: Inherit well-maintained, busy private patient lists with continuous high-quality marketing driving new patient inquiries.

Modern Environments: Work in fully computerized practices (SOE/Exact/Ismile) with modern, air-conditioned surgeries and top-tier materials.
