New opportunity for a Hygienist to join our established orthodontic specialist practice,
New Forest Orthodontics, SO41 9NB

Located on the main high street of Lymington this specialist practice is easily commutable from Southampton, Bournemouth, Salisbury and surrounding areas.

A busy mixed practice providing services to both NHS and private orthodontic patients. Due to patient demand we are now seeking an onsite Hygienist to support our patients from both our New Forrest clinic and also our Southampton practice, both managed by the same Practice Manager who will support in driving these internal referrals across both sites.

A fantastic opportunity to work autonomously within a specialist practice providing direct access.

The opportunity

• A 1 day per month role to start increasing to bi weekly and then longer term weekly (once demand increases)
• Surgery space available on Mondays or Fridays (only)
• This is a book build role, as such it will start slower as we promote the service
• A light and bright practice where you can choose which of the 2 surgeries you would prefer to work
• You’ll be provided with Nurse support
• You will receive internal referrals from both practices and will be supporting a range of patients
  1) to ensure stable hygiene so that orthodontic treatment can commence
  2) to support patients as they undergo their orthodontic journey
  3) post treatment, our intention is that they have such a good experience they want to keep visiting you even when their treatment has completed.
  4) you will also have the opportunity to treat patients in need of a high-quality local Hygienist who aren’t having ortho treatment
• This is a direct access role within an orthodontic specialist practice as such there will be no GDPs onsite
• Ideal for those who are used to direct access and would enjoy the autonomy of launching this service within the practices, where all patients are directed your way as the solo Hygienist
• Applicants are required to be a GDC registered Hygienist, or a Dental Therapist happy to work as a Hygienist - with right to work in the UK (please note sponsorship not available for this role).
• Please note we only have surgery space on Mondays or Fridays
• As this is a direct access role all applicants are required to have exemption training, radiography and be indemnified for direct access
• Please only apply if you are happy for a book build role where the patients may be slower to come at the beginning as we push the service and promote you to patients
