Job description

We’re Hiring a Part-Time Special Care Dentist- Bodmin

Are you passionate about helping others and making a real difference? Do you want to be part of a team where your work truly impacts your community, the environment, and the future of healthcare? Then Smile Together is the place for you!

Make a real difference – every single day.

Are you a caring, skilled dentist with a passion for delivering exceptional care to patients who need a little extra support? We’re looking for a Special Care Dentist to join our friendly and dedicated team at our Harleigh Road Dental Centre, 15 hours per week.

This is more than just a dental role; it’s a chance to truly change lives. You’ll be working with patients who face barriers to accessing care, delivering treatment in a way that’s thoughtful, personalised, and built around their individual needs. Every day brings variety, challenge, and the reward of knowing you’ve made a difference.

Why Join Us?

At Smile Together, we’re not just a dental practice – we’re the UK’s first dental practice to be B Corp certified, a Community Interest Company, and proud to be employee-owned. This means we’re committed to doing business in a way that benefits our people, the communities we serve, and our planet. From reducing our environmental “toothprint” with sustainable practices, to playing an active role in improving oral health across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, our mission is bigger than just dentistry – it’s about changing lives, and we want you to be part of that mission.

What Makes Us Different?

Employee-Owned: Be more than an employee – become a co-owner, shaping the future of Smile Together.

B Corp Certified: We’re committed to social and environmental responsibility, ensuring our business is a force for good in the world.

Community Focused: Every day, we work to improve the health and wellbeing of Cornwall’s residents, with special attention to vulnerable and underserved communities.

What we’re looking for:

• GDC registration, without conditions with experience or a strong interest in Special Care Dentistry
• A compassionate, person-centred approach to care
• Great communication skills and the ability to work closely with colleagues across disciplines
• A calm, flexible mindset with a real passion for inclusive dentistry

At Smile Together, we believe in creating a supportive space for both patients and our team. If you’re looking for a role where your skills will be valued, your development supported, and your work truly meaningful – we’d love to hear from you.

Competitive Salary:

£79,625 salaried role (pro rata), or the option to work on a flexible self-employed basis

Paid Indemnity & GDC Registration:

We’ve got you covered so you can focus on your career.

Workforce Benefits Package:

Occupational pension scheme, 27 days paid annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata), National Living Wage Employer, and an extra paid day off to celebrate your birthday!

Shareholder Opportunities: Have a real voice in shaping the future of our employee-owned company.

Community Involvement:

Engage in impactful community projects like our coastal outreach and support for Health for Homeless Cornwall. Opportunity for half a day’s paid volunteer time such as through our partnership with Plant One and Cornwall Wildlife Trust or with a charity of your own*

Fun and Engaging Team Events:

From BBQs on the beach to our annual ‘Smile (Get) Together’, we know how to have fun while making a difference!

Health and Wellbeing:

Comprehensive Wellbeing Support: Through our Health Assured Programme, you’ll have access to tools for mental and physical health, including 24-hour helplines, structured therapy, and more.
