The successful candidate will have no out of hours on-call commitments.

The candidate must hold BDS, M.Orth&FDS(Orth)RCS or equivalent and must also be registered with the General Dental Council and appear on the Specialist Register before taking up the post or in training within 6 months of expected date of obtaining CCST.
