Alongside investing in the practice itself, we have built a genuinely supportive and collaborative environment with a long-standing team, loyal patient base, and excellent local reputation.
This role would suit a clinician who values autonomy, enjoys working as part of a friendly team, and is looking for strong private growth opportunities within a progressive practice.

- Flexible approach where possible around childcare and work-life balance
- Opportunity to pick up additional days on an ad hoc basis if desired
About the Practice
- Long-established practice with strong community reputation
- Excellent online patient feedback
- Foundation Training (FD) practice with experience mentoring and supporting clinicians
- Friendly, stable team culture consistently praised by patients and visitors
- Clinicians with specialist interests in implants, restorative dentistry, endodontics, and cosmetic treatments
- Increasing opportunities to develop private dentistry alongside NHS care
The Dentist We Are Looking For
We are looking for someone who:
- Is friendly, approachable, and team-oriented
- Communicates confidently with patients and colleagues
