This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established and reputable dental practice in a sought-after area of Nottingham. The practice operates across six surgeries, one of which is dedicated to hygiene, and has built a strong reputation for high-quality private care. With around 85% of its work being private and the practice having recently resumed accepting new private patients, there is real potential for a motivated clinician to develop a rewarding caseload.

The practice is looking for a dentist to join on a part-time basis of two to four days per week. The role involves predominantly private dentistry alongside a small element of NHS work. The NHS component equates to 2,000 UDAs from an overall practice contract of 6,000 UDAs, remunerated at £13 to £14 per UDA. Private earnings are paid at 45% of fees generated. Implant surgery and complex endodontics are covered by existing members of the clinical team, so these are not required of the incoming dentist. The practice would particularly welcome candidates with an interest in restorative dentistry, tooth alignment, or composite bonding, and any experience with clinical photography or an enthusiasm for supporting the practice's patient-facing marketing would be viewed favourably. The role is open to both newly qualified and experienced dentists, provided they are comfortable working within a practice that holds high clinical standards.

Successful candidates will be fully registered with the GDC and have experience of providing private dental treatment in the UK. All applications and enquiries will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
