We are looking for an enthusiastic Dentist to join our existing team, providing Special Care Dentistry to meet the needs of adults in the local community in Swindon.

You should be innovative, flexible and committed to working in a team environment while providing high standards of clinical care.  Dental care may be provided in community, hospital or domiciliary settings as a flexible approach will be required in responding to the clinical care needs of these patients. The post holder will take a clinical leadership role in developing special care dentistry within the CDS team, including training and support to other members of the team, and the development of an IV sedation pathway within the service. The applicant must be GDC registered and be eligible for a performer number. You should be on the GDC Specialist list in Special Care Dentistry or eligible for CCST within 6 months of the date of the interview.

The post holder will be required to work 8:30- 17:00, with one hour for lunch, 3 days per week.

You will join our team to provide care for our service users, those patients with dental needs outside of general practice, and be supported by a Senior Leadership team, offering mentoring and support and experienced line management.
