Main duties of the job Your role would be to help deliver on the clinical and operational management of dental services, providing a high quality service in line with the Trust's values, suitable and robust governance frameworks and the achievement of performance targets.
As a senior colleague, you will be working closely with the clinical teams, offering guidance, advice and support not only for local colleagues in the county where you are working, but also for the wider service. Collaborating with our Clinical Director, existing Specialists, senior dentists and service/operational management, you will help shape the future of our dental service across both counties.
Our Community dental services have historically provided a wide range of services and population access. We have been instrumental in developing clinical dental pathways for the South West, and have key input into many stakeholder groups, enjoying recognition and support from the Trust leadership, and close ties with external colleagues such as the South West Regional Chief Dentist.
The job is yours to build, share your vision and tell us how you think you can make a difference.
About us We would love to hear from you to see how your experience could fit with our service needs and how we can help further or fill your career aspirations.
