About The Position

Dental Care Group is seeking a Mentee Associate Dentist to join its NHS and private practice in Trowbridge. The role offers an established patient list and the opportunity to develop in a supportive practice environment, with NHS and private earning potential. The practice provides a 12-month mentoring scheme, a dedicated mentor, a six-week immersion plan, scheduled training, and support with continuing professional development and personal development. Training opportunities include rotary endodontics, crowns and bridges, and potentially implants and Invisalign. The group can assist eligible applicants with the process of obtaining GDC registration and a conditional NHS performer number, and may support suitable applicants seeking a UK work visa.

Once a performer number is obtained, the position offers an achievable NHS target of 5,000–6,000 UDAs, at a competitive rate negotiable based on experience, as well as a 50/50 private split. A UDA contract offers access to the NHS pension scheme and NHS sick pay and maternity pay benefits.
