This is a lovely, small dental practice based in Shrewsbury with a well-maintained loyal patient base that has in recent years been converted to private. The patient list is both fee per item and plan with a small NHS list comprising of children and exempt adults. Private is paid at 50%, with laboratory costs also shared equally. Due to the success of the transition from NHS to private the Principal Dentist requires a new Associate to join the practice initially for one day per week, but this is expected to grow to two days very quickly due to the demand in the practice. The working week will be shared with the principal and as such the incoming Dentist should be comfortable working single handed.
Successful candidates will be GDC registered dentists, have an active dentist performer number and have experience of providing NHS dental treatment in the UK.
For further information regarding this dentist position, confidential enquiries can be made by submitting your CV to Zest Dental. All applications and enquiries will be treated in the strictest of confidence.....Read more...
