Dental Therapist- Direct Access

Flourish Medical is seeking an experienced Dental Therapist to join a modern, well-equipped dental practice in Northampton on a part-time basis (3 days per week). This is an excellent opportunity for a therapist seeking regular sessions within a highly supportive practice environment, with strong long-term potential to develop a private patient base alongside established NHS demand.

What makes this opportunity stand out is the practice culture – the team places genuine emphasis on delivering quality patient care rather than operating to rigid KPIs or unrealistic production targets.

Therapists are supported to work clinically and build patient relationships, with autonomy and encouragement to develop their role over time.
