Associate Dentist - Family-Owned - Established Patient List

Associate Dentist – Hastings

Looking for an associate position where you can walk into an established patient list, develop your private dentistry and genuinely enjoy coming to work?

David Neal Dental is a family-owned, dentist-led dental group, and we’re looking for an enthusiastic Associate Dentist with an NHS Performer Number to join our long-established Hastings practice.

We pride ourselves on offering the support and opportunities of a growing dental group while maintaining the personal, friendly culture of a family‑owned business. Our clinicians have direct access to our owners and Clinical Director, with the freedom and support to develop their careers and practise the dentistry they enjoy.

This is an excellent opportunity for a dentist looking for stability without sacrificing clinical freedom or earning potential. You’ll benefit from an established patient base, strong demand for private treatment and an experienced team around you.

• Family-owned & dentist-led – be part of a business where you’re known as an individual, not just a number
• Established patient list – step into a busy book with an existing patient base
• 5,000+ UDAs alongside excellent private earning potential
• Strong private demand – with opportunities to grow the type of dentistry you enjoy
• Clinical freedom within a supportive environment
• Full or part-time options – flexible days available Monday to Friday
• Modern, fully digital practice with up-to-date technology
• In-house dental laboratory with discounted laboratory fees
• Experienced clinical and support team
• Direct access to our owners and Clinical Director
• Professional development encouraged – we’ll support you in developing your clinical interests
• Visa sponsorship available for eligible candidates
• More than just a place to work

  We know that the people you work with can make just as much difference as the dentistry you perform.

  As a family‑owned group, we’ve worked hard to maintain a culture where our clinicians feel valued, supported and part of the team. We want our dentists to enjoy coming to work, have a voice within the practice and have the freedom to develop their careers.

  What one of our dentists says about working with us:

  “I’ve been with the company for around seven months and I have to say it’s been the most enjoyable work environment I’ve been a part of. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly. Coming to work feels more like hanging out with friends than working. I couldn’t see myself working for any other company. 10/10 would recommend.”
