We're looking for a Dental Therapist who wants more than just a diary to fill — someone who wants to build something, develop lasting patient relationships and play an important role in the growth of a thriving private practice.
This is an excellent opportunity for a dental therapist who enjoys working to the full scope of their role, takes pride in delivering outstanding patient care and is motivated to develop a successful therapy-led patient base within a modern private practice.
The role would suit someone who is confident, proactive and keen to play an active part in the continued growth of our therapy services, while delivering exceptional care and building lasting patient relationships.
Why Join Avenue Dental?
Avenue Dental is a 5 star independent private practice in Leamington Spa with a strong reputation for high-quality dentistry and exceptional patient care.
As finalists in the Private Dentistry Awards, we are proud of the standards we have achieved and the culture we have built. We are a supportive, forward-thinking team that values professionalism, continuous development and doing the very best for our patients.
Our patients trust us because we take the time to listen, explain their options clearly and provide care to the highest standard. We are committed to investing in both our team and the patient experience as we continue to grow.
As our practice continues to develop, we see Dental Therapy playing an increasingly important role in the patient journey. This is an opportunity to join a team that values the contribution of therapists and provides the support, autonomy and clinical freedom to help you build a rewarding and successful role.
The Opportunity
This is a self-employed associate position offering the opportunity to work independently within a supportive private practice environment.
You will have the autonomy to develop your own therapy list, build strong patient relationships and contribute to the continued growth of therapy services within the practice.
For the right individual, this role offers genuine scope to shape and grow therapy services within the practice, supported by an established patient base and a team committed to collaborative care.
We are looking for someone who combines clinical excellence with strong communication skills, helping patients understand their treatment options and supporting them to achieve and maintain excellent oral health.
Success in this role will come from building trust with patients, delivering consistently high standards of care and recognising opportunities to improve patient outcomes through preventive and restorative treatment.
