Job Opportunity: Dental Therapist Advanced Practitioner
An exciting opportunity has become available for a Dental Therapist Advanced Practitioner with experience in providing direct access care to join Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Trust Community Dental Services, supporting clinics across the county.
This role offers the chance to be part of an experienced team delivering care in a community service setting and to gain valuable experience with various patient groups.
The post holder will work in diverse clinical settings, including community hospitals, health centres, domiciliary care, and residential homes, supported by an experienced Dental Nurse.
Patients served include adults and children, those with additional needs, learning, and physical disabilities, referred to the service as they cannot access care in general dental practices. The post holder will be supported by a Specialist in Special Care and a Senior Dental Officer, working alongside a friendly and experienced dental team.
The role encourages the full scope of practice to perform specialist clinical, restorative, or preventative procedures independently, following treatment plans under the supervision of dentists or through direct access for specific patient groups.
As the role involves providing support across Gloucestershire, the ability to travel and work at various bases is essential.
The qualification, training, and experience requirements are detailed in the Job Description/Person Specification.
Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Trust employs over 5,000 staff across 55 sites and in people's homes, fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and diverse workplace culture that promotes civility, trust, and a sense of belonging.
Our staff engagement initiatives include annual surveys and regular pulse surveys. Recent feedback shows high staff and patient satisfaction, with the Trust ranking first in the South West for staff recommendations and quality of care.
We are committed to becoming a Great Place to Work and continuously improving staff experiences.
