We're looking for a confident and motivated Dental Hygienist/Therapist to join our dynamic, supportive team at Sharples Dental for 1–2 days per week.
Sharples Dental is a long-established mixed NHS/private practice that has recently undergone significant investment and modernisation under new ownership.
