This structure is designed to reward productivity while maintaining a supportive working environment.

*What We’re Looking For*

* GDC registered dentist
* Valid NHS performer number (unconditional)
* Experience in general dentistry (urgent care experience desirable)
* Up-to-date indemnity and immunisation records
