Aberdeen City Health and Social Care Partnership is pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated clinician to join the Public Dental Service team in the North-east of Scotland. The successful candidate will be a dental practitioner with excellent communication and patient management skills and confidence to deliver dental care to patients with more complex needs. The position would suit a clinician wishing to develop expertise in providing care not usually available in general dental practice.

We are looking for a clinician who makes patient care their first priority and who thrives when working with a range of patient groups. In return, the PDS provides an exciting working environment with access to first-class training and development opportunities. You will be supported to develop the skills needed to deliver the key duties of the post, providing dental care for adult and child patients with a wide range of additional health and social care needs, including complex medical conditions, physical disability, learning disability, dental anxiety, and those in hospital or residential care settings.

This will include providing dental sedation, dental treatment under general anaesthesia, management of medically complex patients, and minor oral surgery procedures. You will enjoy the professional support of highly qualified and experienced colleagues, working within well-equipped modern dental clinics and other healthcare facilities. The position requires an ability to adapt to the developing remit of the Public Dental Service and to work flexibly in a number of locations and with a range of healthcare colleagues within NHS Grampian.

• Please note - If this post operates within Aberdeen City Low Emission Zone, you will be responsible for all costs associated with entering.
