Senior Dental Officer inGloucester inGloucester PUBLISHED 19 SEP 2024

The post holder will be required to provide leadership, line management and support to a team of dental officers and dental therapists.
Our Special Care/Paediatric Dental Service is looking for a motivated Band B Senior Dental Officer to join its friendly and innovative team to provide specialist care across Gloucestershire.

If you are looking for a rewarding senior clinical post in which you can develop your clinical and leadership skills, this could be the ideal opportunity for you.

Our award winning, dynamic dental team prides itself on providing outstanding specialised clinical care for children, young people and adults with additional needs, and seeks an enthusiastic and flexible team player to join them on a part-time basis for three days a week.

This is an ideal opportunity for those seeking a role that provides interest, variety and supports further career development. Successful candidates will have experience of working in a special care/paediatric environment and a recognised ability to provide conscious sedation and treatment under general anaesthesia to the above patient groups.

Working in newly-refurbished and fully-equipped, multi-surgery clinics, you will be supported by the Specialist in Special Care Dentistry and other senior clinicians.

As a senior member of the Dental Leadership Team you will be actively involved in the development of the strategic vision of the service, as well as providing operational and line management to support the team.

The post holder will be expected to provide comprehensive clinical care to adult and paediatric patients who meet the criteria to access special care dentistry.

These patients have needs that cannot be met in the General Dental Service. This would include providing treatment using different modalities such as inhalation sedation, IV and general anaesthesia. Management of patients occurs in different settings including domiciliary and hospital locations.

The post holder must be able to participate in the provision of care under general anaesthesia and care in domiciliary settings as part of the senior clinical team.

About


The annual NHS Staff Survey gives our people the opportunity to tell us about their experience working at the Trust. For the 2023 survey just over 2800 colleagues gave us their views (58.5%). It was great to see from the results that colleagues are saying that:

  • 89.7% believe they are making a positive difference to patients/service users;
  • 73.3% would recommend the organisation as a place to work;
  • 82.4% agree that care of patients and service users is the organisations priority;
  • 76.7% would be happy with the standard of care for a friend or relative

Our results put us as 5th nationally as a Community, Mental Health and Learning Disabilities NHS Employer of Choice and 1st equal amongst all NHS Provider Trusts in the South West. However, we know we have more to do and will continue to drive forward our commitment to making GHC a Great Place to Work.
