Job overview

What better time than now to come and join our vibrant and friendly Community Dental Teams in the beautiful county of Dorset.

As a new team-mate and individual colleague, you will be very well supported in every aspect of your role.  We have empowered teams, experienced line management and exceptional clinical supervision with exciting opportunities for continued professional development.
