Job Advert
Moray HSCP and NHS Grampian are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated GDC registered dental therapist or hygienist to join the Public Dental Service team in Moray, in the North-east of Scotland. The roles includes providing dental care for priority group patients, particularly vulnerable children and adult patients who require additional support.
Working within well-equipped surgeries in both Elgin and Buckie, you will enjoy access to excellent facilities as well as the professional support of highly qualified colleagues. There are opportunities for professional development through the diversity of the patient base, formal training and courses, as well as growth through peer review and the support of the existing experienced and friendly team.
Successful applicants will be supporting dental care provision not only in the clinical environment but also in care home and other domiciliary type settings, and will therefore require the clinical skills and competency necessary to deliver a range of treatments within a sometimes challenging environment to patients who may have additional and complex needs.
An ability to evidence a genuine interest in a high standard of patient care is essential and applicants should have knowledge of the GDC Scope of Practice for Dental Therapists/ Hygienists in addition to a working familiarity with the GDC Standards for the Dental Team.
Moray as a location offers access to a wealth of recreational activities and an excellent quality of life; the area is perhaps best known for its beautiful countryside and beaches.
Please see the Job Description and Person Specification for further details.
Interviews will take place on 10th May 2023.
For informal enquiries or further information please contact Laura Stevenson, Dental Clinical Lead, at laura.stevenson12@nhs.scot or 07876258941
