Working here means being part of a close-knit community with the time and resources to provide the highest standards of care, while enjoying the unique lifestyle that the Islands offer.

The Role

As a Senior Dental Practitioner, you'll play a dual role: delivering high-quality dental care and leading the local dental team. You'll act as the clinical lead and internal advisor on dental matters, oversee the Oral Health Strategy, and contribute to the delivery of orthodontic services.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide full dental officer duties, including emergency, routine, and preventative care

• Implement and champion the Oral Health Strategy
• Manage budgets and administrative functions effectively
• Participate in the on-call rota, including alternate weekends and public holidays

Working in the Falkland Islands offers more than just a job – it's a lifestyle. Alongside a generous salary, you'll receive:

• 25% gratuity paid on successful completion of the contract
• 30 days annual leave + public holidays (41 days total)
• Relocation allowance and government housing
• Annual flight package for you and your dependents
• Favourable tax rates with personal allowance
• A safe, friendly community with stunning wildlife and landscapes

The Ideal Candidate

You'll be an experienced and clinically current dentist with strong leadership and communication skills to inspire confidence within your team and community.

• Bachelor of Dental Surgery (minimum) with 5+ years' experience
• Ideally, experience in NHS or community dental practice
• Registered with the UK General Dental Council (or equivalent)
• Skilled in clinical governance and audits
• Experience in orthodontic treatments (or willingness to train)
• Flexible, approachable, and able to work on-call
• Proven ability to manage budgets and resources
• A true team player with a professional and ethical approach

This role offers a truly unique chance to grow your career while enjoying an adventurous lifestyle in one of the world's most remarkable settings
