We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
Main duties of the role include the management of both outpatient and inpatient maxillofacial elective and emergency patients, performing minor oral surgery and supporting with the one call rota. Please review the job description for further information
