Job description

Dental Therapist, Direct Access

Locations: Eden Dental Studio (BB1) & Newbank (BB2), Blackburn

Full-Time or Part-Time Positions Available

Join a growing, supportive network of dentists with over 100 surgeries across North West England.

About the Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced, motivated, and patient-focused Dental Therapist to join our Blackburn team across Eden Dental Studio (BB1) and Newbank (BB2). This role is ideal for a clinician who wants more than routine treatment delivery, someone who values autonomy, clinical development, and a supportive working culture.

Both practices benefit from a strong patient base, modern equipment, and consistent demand for hygiene and therapy services. You’ll be joining practices where your skills are recognised, valued, and supported.

Full-time and part-time applications are welcome.

What Makes This Role Different

We are committed to offering an environment where clinicians can truly thrive. This means:

• Autonomy to work to your full scope under Direct Access
• Support from a close-knit multidisciplinary team, including dentists, nurses, and specialists
• Modern, well-equipped surgeries with the digital tools required to deliver high-quality care
• A patient-led, rather than target-driven, culture
• A workplace that values your experience, ideas, and professional growth

You’ll be able to provide care to both NHS and private patients, with strong demand for Direct Access, hygiene, airflow cleaning, and cosmetic or restorative services.

Responsibilities

You will:

• Deliver routine dental therapy treatments for private and NHS patients within your GDC scope
• Clearly communicate treatment options and oral health education to patients
• Refer to in-house clinicians or specialists when required
• Promote and provide private care, including airflow polishing, hygiene therapy, restorative treatments, and preventive services.
• Maintain excellent patient experience, clinical standards, and accurate record keeping.

What We Offer

• A supportive clinical environment with structured onboarding
• Consistent patient flow and well-managed diaries
• Ongoing opportunities for further development in areas such as cosmetic dentistry, aligners, airflow, and restorative work
• Full administrative and clinical support, including marketing, compliance, and diary management
• If you currently work in the UK under sponsorship, we may be able to support a transfer, subject to meeting applicable requirements and guidelines

About You

• GDC registered as a Dental Therapist
• Confident in delivering Direct Access care and working independently where appropriate
• Focused on patient care, quality, and communication
• Interested in ongoing training and expanding your clinical scope
• Reliable, professional, and team-oriented

Location and Accessibility

Blackburn offers excellent transport links, whether you're local or commuting. Both practices are well connected via public transport and main road networks, with convenient parking available.

• Train: Direct links from Manchester Victoria in under 50 minutes
• Road: Accessible via M60/M65
