Due to patient demand we are now seeking an onsite Hygienist to support our patients from both our New Forrest clinic and also our Southampton practice, both managed by the same Practice Manager who will support in driving these internal referrals across both sites.
A fantastic opportunity to work autonomously within a specialist practice providing direct access.
The opportunity

* A light and bright practice where you can choose which of the 2 surgeries you would prefer to work
* You'll be provided with Nurse support
* You will receive internal referrals from both practices and will be supporting a range of patients 1) to ensure stable hygiene so that orthodontic treatment can commence 2) to support patients as they undergo their orthodontic journey 3) post treatment, our intention is that they have such a good experience they want to keep visiting you even when their treatment has completed. 4) you will also have the opportunity to treat patients in need of a high-quality local Hygienist who aren't having ortho treatment
* This is a direct access role within an orthodontic specialist practice as such there will be no GDPs onsite
