You will be expected to deal with a range of queries from a variety of professionals in a courteous and professional manner.
Joining a highly dynamic team within NHS Education for Scotland you will work with the Lead DCP Tutor, team of Dental Tutors, National Workstream Lead, and Business Support Teams to plan and deliver DCP education and training, ensuring a consistent approach is delivered in all centres, through standardised processes.
This is exciting and rewarding work which aims to support pre and post registration training for dental nurses, orthodontic therapists, practice managers and receptionists, to enable the delivery of safe, person-centered and effective high-quality dental care.
