We are working with a well-established, mixed dental practice in Oldham to recruit an Associate Dentist for an immediate start. The role is offered on a part-time basis (2 or 3 days per week) to begin with, with flexibility to increase days over time. Current needs are Wednesday and Friday plus Mondays in the near future. The practice has a reliable NHS patient base, strong UDA completion, and a proven track record of long-term associate retention.

With consistent UDAs, fair pay, supportive staff, and realistic expectations, it’s an ideal position for a dentist seeking reliability and longevity rather than constant churn.
