* Maintain accurate, detailed clinical records in line with safeguarding, infection control, and health and safety standards
* Support the practice in developing its domiciliary and accessibility-focused dental care services
Requirements:
* GDC registration and right to work in the UK
* Current professional indemnity cover
* Experience with elderly or medically compromised patients is an advantage
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
* Compassionate, professional, and patient-centred approach
What We Offer:
