Job description

Introduction

We offer regular in-house and external CPD. The principal run sessions at the local hospital and occasionally in the practice - covering things like rubber dam placement, restorative dilemmas, impression taking, and other everyday clinical topics.

We're based in one of the nicer parts of Swansea. Most of our patients have been with us for years and are very loyal – they’re used to private dentistry and happy to pay when they feel they’re receiving value. Many of them know us personally and professionally, and they genuinely care about the people who look after them.

Equipment and Facilities

We're well‑equipped and fully digital. The practice includes:

• Digital X-rays
• Medit scanners
• Multiple DSLR cameras
• NSK and Cavitron scalers
• A range of hand scalers
• A full‑size EMS Airflow unit with the full workflow and all powders available

Team and Culture

You’ll have full support from both myself and the associate dentist. We work closely together and make sure everyone feels supported. The right person for this role will be a team player who wants to grow, progress, and help the practice continue to thrive both clinically and commercially.

What We’re Looking For

• A great communicator who genuinely enjoys building trust with patients.
• Confident with periodontal treatment, including the use of airflow and managing perio according to current guidelines.
• Ideally with or working towards a postgraduate or master’s qualification in perio (though this isn’t essential).

Most of us are looking for someone with good energy who wants to do quality work and fit in well with the team.

Days Required

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Thursday and Friday optional)

Working Hours

8:30 am to 5:15 pm with a one‑hour lunch break.

Practice Type

Fully private practice – mostly pay‑as‑you‑go patients, with a healthy medium‑sized Denplan list.

Remuneration Package

We’re offering 40% of all fee‑per‑item treatments, along with a £2,500 monthly payment for looking after a Denplan list and providing routine exams and hygiene care for those patients.
