NEW OPPORTUNITY: Part-time position in Liverpool for a dental therapist. We are specifically looking for somebody with a fantastic work ethic, the ability to be assertive, work independently, show leadership and develop with the practice and the type of care being delivered. We are looking for an enthusiastic, positive and assertive candidate who will focus on delivering an excellent patient experience and to support our senior management, as well as develop our junior staff members. The role is available one or two days per week (ideally Monday and Wednesday).
