We are looking for an Associate Dentist to partner with us on a self‑employed basis at our established Bupa Dental Care practice in St Ann’s Square, Manchester City Centre.

Located in Manchester’s iconic St Ann’s Square, our well‑established city‑centre practice is just a 10‑minute walk from the Metrolink and within easy reach of Manchester Victoria, Manchester Piccadilly, shops, cafés, restaurants and the city’s vibrant retail and business districts. The practice has 11 modern surgeries and a loyal patient base. You'll be supported by a dedicated Practice Manager, Practice Coordinator, Treatment Coordinator and a team of over 40 experienced colleagues, as well as access to a Hygienist and a range of in‑house specialist services including oral surgery, implants, endodontics, orthodontics and sedation.

Equipped with advanced technology including an OPG, microscope, and iTero scanner, the practice offers excellent clinical support and opportunities for private growth within an established patient base.

The Bupa Smile Plan is a payment plan that allows patients to spread the cost of their routine preventive dentistry throughout the year. This enables patients to budget for their dental care and encourages regular attendance, helping to maintain their oral health. For you it means a more stable revenue stream from a loyal patient base with absolutely no fees or admin costs – you get paid for the services you offer in line with private pricing.

Partnering with Bupa also means the unique opportunity to provide dental treatment to our insurance customers, improving your revenue streams and growing any private work you wish to undertake.

• In‑house CPD events
• Professional development opportunities
• Large clinical support network
• Referral Portal
• 5% rebate on spend with Bupa Labs

• Discounted health insurance with medical history disregarded
• Preferential rates to Bupa Menopause plan
• Suite of wellbeing resources available

• Invisalign discount course and savings on labs bills (20% iGO and 46% on comprehensive treatment)
• Implant discount – Straumann, Astra, Nobel Biocare and Zimmer Biomet
• Receive up to £3,000 referral fee for referring clinicians & support staff (Ts & Cs apply)
• Highest standards of clinical governance and expert practice support – giving you the time to concentrate on delivering excellent patient care
• Access to an in‑house complaint team
• Practice level marketing support to help you grow your business
• Network of 380+ practices making it easier to relocate

We are the only corporate dental provider in the UK not backed by private equity, and we’re committed to the UK dental industry for the long term – both private and NHS – and are ready to treat not just today’s patients, but generations to come.

As a limited liability company Bupa has no shareholders, so we’re able to focus 100% on delivering a great service for our customers. We are run commercially to ensure we remain competitive, but Bupa reinvests 100% of its profits to help provide better care for patients across the world.
