Dental Officer - C9327-24-1579

Gloucester

Job summary

Our Special Care/Paediatric Dental Service is looking for skilled and dedicated dental officers to join its friendly and innovative team in Gloucestershire.

Our award winning service prides itself on providing outstanding specialised clinical care for children, young people and adults with additional needs, including treatment under inhalation and IV sedation, as well as general anaesthesia - thus providing ideal opportunities for training and supporting career development.

Our dynamic dental team seeks enthusiastic and flexible professionals with excellent communication skills to join us on a full- or part-time basis, to provide routine clinical care for those who require special dental care.

If you are seeking a rewarding role, which provides interest, variety and supports further career development, this could be the ideal opportunity for you.

Working in newly-refurbished and fully-equipped, multi-surgery clinics, you will be supported by the Specialist in Special Care Dentistry and other senior clinicians, and work closely with a team of dental therapists.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will be expected to provide comprehensive clinical care to adult and paediatric patients who meet the criteria to access special care dentistry that cannot be met in the General Dental Service.

This will include the use of different modalities such as inhalation sedation, general anaesthetic, local anaesthetic, behaviour modification and treatment which may need to be carried out in different locations such as domiciliary and hospital settings.

We are happy to consider part time and flexible working, with ideally a minimum of three days. The post holder must be able to travel and work at different sites to meet the needs of the service.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.

About us

We have in excess of 5000 staff working over 50 sites, providing a diverse range of services. We strive to support an organisational culture that is welcoming, builds and celebrates inclusivity and diversity and provides a sense of belonging and trust.

The annual NHS Staff Surveygives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust. For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%). It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:

• 89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users;
• 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work;
• 82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority;
• 76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative

Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West. However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
