Associate Dentist | Minimal NHS Commitment | 50% Private Split | Private Growth Opportunity

Permanent | Tuesdays & Wednesdays | £13 UDA | 50% Private Split | Additional Sessions Available | Established Mixed Practice

Are you an Associate Dentist looking for a role where you can keep your NHS commitment manageable while building a strong and profitable private diary?

We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established mixed dental practice with an existing patient base, regular new patient enquiries and an experienced clinical team.

With a minimal NHS commitment, 50% private revenue split and the opportunity to add further sessions, this is an excellent option for a dentist who wants to develop their private income without taking on a large NHS workload.

The practice is particularly suited to a clinician who enjoys building patient relationships, providing comprehensive dentistry and wants the flexibility to develop their career around their existing commitments.

The Opportunity

Position:
Associate Dentist

Employment Type:

Permanent

Practice Type:
Mixed NHS & Private

Working Pattern:
Tuesdays & Wednesdays

Optional:
Saturday mornings

Additional Sessions:
Available

Start Date:

ASAP

Working Hours

Tuesday: 09:00–18:00

Wednesday: 09:00–17:00

Saturday: 09:00–13:00 (optional)

Additional weekday sessions can also be discussed for clinicians looking to increase their diary.

This makes the role particularly attractive to a dentist who wants to start with two days and potentially build their workload over time.

Remuneration

£13.00 per UDA

50% private revenue split

50% laboratory fee split

With only a modest NHS commitment, the role provides a strong platform for developing private treatment provision and increasing overall earning potential.

About the Practice

You'll be joining a modern, well-established mixed practice with a loyal patient base, regular new patient demand and a supportive clinical team.

The practice has created an environment where clinicians can focus on delivering high-quality dentistry while developing long-term relationships with their patients.

  • Discuss appropriate private treatment options ethically
  • Develop and retain your own private patient base
  • Deliver an excellent patient experience
  • Maintain accurate clinical records
  • Work collaboratively with the wider clinical team
  • Maintain consistently high standards of clinical care

The focus is on quality dentistry, continuity of care and sustainable private growth, rather than simply maximising NHS activity.

  • Additional weekday sessions available
  • Experienced and supportive clinical team
  • Excellent long-term earning and career development potential
Build Your Private Career Around Your Goals

If you're an Associate Dentist looking for the security of an established mixed practice without being tied to a heavy NHS commitment, this could be an excellent opportunity.

With a 50% private split, established patient demand and the flexibility to add further sessions, you'll have the opportunity to develop your private diary and earning potential at a pace that works for you.
