Job description

Private Dentist – Long-Term Locum (Maternity Cover), Harrogate, North Yorkshire

ZEST Dental Recruitment is working in partnership with an established, longstanding private dental practice in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, to recruit a Private Dentist for long-term locum cover.

The role

• Private Dentist – long-term locum, covering maternity leave
• Tuesday and Thursday (2 days per week)
• 45% split on private earnings
• Established, high-value patient list to inherit
• Reference: JG100372

The practice

• Fully private clinic with a multidisciplinary team in situ
• Longstanding practice with a loyal patient base and affluent demographic
• Modern, well-presented and equipped to a very high standard — CBCT, CEREC, digital x-ray, rotary endo
• Dedicated support team including Hygienists/Therapists, experienced nurses and a treatment co-ordinator
• Full clinical freedom and choice of labs

Why this role

You'd be stepping into a substantial, well-maintained list — a mix of Denplan (Care and Essentials) and fee-per-item private patients, built up by a clinician who's been with the practice for many years, primarily in general dental care. A strong general private dentistry background is the priority, though additional skills in restorative and cosmetic dentistry would be a welcome complement to the existing team, not a requirement.

This would suit an experienced private dentist looking for genuinely high earning potential on a flexible two-day pattern, in a practice with a stable team and excellent clinical support already in place.

Requirements

• Full GDC registration
• Minimum 3 years' experience providing dental treatment in the UK
