Dental Therapist

Your clinical skills are important, but it's your passion for prevention that will make the biggest difference.

You're someone who believes every child deserves the opportunity to grow up with a healthy smile. You enjoy working with children and families, building trusted relationships and helping people make positive changes that improve their health for years to come. You act with integrity, value others, find practical solutions and take pride in delivering high quality care that makes a real difference.

For this role, essentially you'll need:

• A BSc or Diploma in Dental Therapy (or equivalent).

• Current General Dental Council (GDC) registration.

• A Certificate in Fluoride Varnish Application.

• Experience delivering clinical dental therapy services and preventative dental care.

• Experience working with children and families.

• Knowledge of public health approaches to improving children's oral health.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to engage children, young people and families.

• The ability to work independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.

• A commitment to safeguarding, equality, diversity and delivering high quality, compassionate care.

Experience delivering supervised toothbrushing programmes, working with children who have additional needs or vulnerabilities, delivering fluoride varnish programmes, or qualifications in oral health education or public health would be advantageous but aren't essential.
