We are currently looking for an experienced Oral Health Practitioner to play a key role in delivering community outreach programmes in the London borough of Redbridge, including fluoride application and tooth brushing schemes across a wide variety of community settings. You will act as an ambassador for the Service, promoting the highest standards of excellence in working practices.
You will lead on ensuring outreach programmes are delivered to the highest standard and play an active role in stakeholder engagement programmes to promote uptake of the schemes. You will be responsible for directing and supervising a team of Outreach Therapists and Extended Duties Dental Nurses, supporting a cohesive team approach, and developing and strengthening partnership working both internally and externally. As part of the role you will be expected to attend commissioner meetings, providing feedback and background to the activity reports submitted.
