We are looking for enthusiastic dental professionals to join our dynamic community dental team at Whittington Health. We are a large organisation providing paediatric and special care dentistry across ten boroughs in north London. You will work alongside our dedicated team including specialists, therapists, and oral health promoters, in fully equipped clinics and be well-supported by an experienced nursing and management team. You will have opportunities to develop your skills and interests in the areas of paediatric and special care dentistry.
The post-holder will be responsible for the provision of high quality special care dentistry to patients referred to the service. Much of the post will involve providing clinical care but there will also be responsibilities in the areas of clinical governance, training, management and supervision.
Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.
Key Responsibilities:
To provide specialist clinical care to patients with additional or special care needs at Level 2 and above. To provide clinical care under sedation when required and following further training if required. To demonstrate professional and clinical leadership in the clinical setting in providing treatment safely and to a high standard. To provide clinical care for other CDS patients, according to the needs of the service. To comply with all relevant professional and Trust policies, guidelines and standards including mandatory training, health and safety and infection control. To provide clinical care, when required, in health centres other than their base clinic, and in other settings such as care homes and hospitals. To work with others in the health, local authority and voluntary sectors to raise awareness of the oral health needs of adults and children with special needs, promote oral health and to improve access to dental services.
