Together, you'll help develop Community Dental Services fit for the future, delivering across Liverpool, Sefton, and Knowsley.

We're seeking a strong clinical, strategic, and operational lead to drive, develop, and motivate our Dental Service through transformational milestones. You'll need a strategic vision to address national, regional, and local challenges faced by Dental Services. Collaboration is key, as you'll develop clinical dental pathways across the North West and build strong clinical networks across providers and local universities.

Our Services Include

• Special Dental Care: Provided across eight sites in Liverpool, Sefton, and Knowsley.
• General Personal Dental Services: Delivered from two sites in Liverpool and Knowsley.
• Paediatric General Anaesthetic Extraction Services: Available at Whiston and Ormskirk Hospitals.
• Domiciliary Consultations: When necessary.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive care: From an episode of care to shared or continuing care.
• Specialist led services: For adults and children whose dental needs cannot be met within general dental practice.
• Paediatric Exodontia Contract: Providing assessment and exodontia services for children using General Anaesthetic (GA), conscious sedation, or other appropriate patient management systems.
• NHS Dental Services: Under Personal Dental Service contracts at Vauxhall Health Centre and River Alt Resource Centre.
• Outreach teaching: For dental students and post registration dental training at River Alt.

Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 1.4 million people across our region and are also commissioned for services that cover the North West, North Wales, and the Midlands.

We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction, and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.

At the heart of all we do is our commitment to ‘perfect care’ – care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable, and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We’re currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce costs as we do so.
