We currently have a vacancy at our Special Care Dental Clinics located in the Southampton area and can offer an immediate start to join a team of likeminded dental professionals. At Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust we provide the best for our teams and patients with established surgeries and state of the art equipment and the use of theatre space in local hospitals. We will offer you a varied caseload where every day brings new challenges with excellent opportunities to upskill in topics such as conscious sedation and domiciliary dentistry, and access to a training budget to maintain your personal development.
