Be part of a 'Healthy Caring Powys' and help us transform the way we provide health and care, so our communities can Start Well, Live Well and Age Well.

 

Job overview

An enthusiastic salaried GDP is required to join a growing community dental service in Powys. This opportunity will allow an individual to practice NHS general dentistry in a supportive working environment where quality of care is the primary focus with access to excellent equipment. Individuals are encouraged to develop clinical skills and will be supported by other colleagues within the team. The base will be Llandrindod Wells. Full time – 37.5 hours per week. Part time considered. 

Main duties of the job

A significant part of this role will be to provide a comprehensive range of NHS dental care for eligible adults and children in Powys, including GDS patients.  The candidate will also provide courses of treatment for patients who are unable to access general dental services. As part of the wider team, you will also support the rest of the team to help improve access and reduce waiting times within the service.
