Do you want to make a difference? If so, why not consider a career with an award winning dentally led social enterprise?

If your answer is ‘yes’ and you see yourself as a caring, compassionate, flexible and approachable person where you will be appreciated by patients and the team, then this is the place for you. 

Main duties of the job

Your primary responsibility will be to provide clinical support in a wide range of treatments for a broad client base which includes adults and children, patients with additional needs, phobics and the elderly.  Extended duties would be a distinct advantage. 

Your good communication skills and effortless ways of making people feel at ease will come in really handy when providing valuable support at these clinics.

Your main bases will be Westcotes Dental Clinic and Merlyn Vaz Dental Clinic, but you will support other CDS clinics in Leicestershire too, so car drivers are essential. 

We would like you to have a welcoming and positive approach for our patients and be an upbeat and reliable member of the team.

Our clinical sessions run between Monday to Saturday 8.30am – 5.00pm, Saturdays on a rotational basis, and we will need you to be flexible in your approach to work.
