This is a small team of the principal dentist, a part-time associate dentist (nine years at the practice), a part-time dental hygienist, and dental nurses and an administrative team, all of which are experienced, qualified, and who enjoy working together and looking out for one another.
The practice is very busy, additionally with a large waiting list of patients and you will be booked up continuously with busy books, ensuring a lucrative income and complete freedom to manage your cases; and depending on your skills and interests, provide the treatments you wish.
The principal is seeking a general dentist, you could have recently qualified as there is plenty of support, or you may be more established in your career, in mixed practice seeking a more private focussed role, or a private dentist already; there really is plenty of scope to ensure it fits with the individual.
Most important to the practice, is to find a candidate that is kind in nature and can develop excellent relationships with their patients and become part of the team.
If however, you have skills in veneers, or Invisalign (or similar), this would be beneficial.
Also, the practice is currently referring out Implant cases, thus, whilst there is not currently lots of Implants work (it is not being marketed currently), there is good scope for you to do this in-house if you have skills and experience in this area.
Please note, this is not compulsory, a good general dentist is the most important criterion.
Successful candidates will be fully registered with the GDC and have experience of providing dental treatment in the UK.
