An exciting opportunity has become available for a Dental Therapist Advanced Practitioner with experience of providing direct access care to join our team at Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Trust Community Dental Services, supporting clinics across the county.
This is an opportunity to be part of an experienced team delivering care in a community service setting and to gain valuable experience, with a variety of different patient cohorts.
The post holder will have the opportunity to work in various clinical settings including community hospitals, community health centres, domiciliary care and residential homes whilst being supported by an experienced Dental Nurse.
The patients who access the community dental service include adults and children, patients with additional needs and patients with learning and physical disabilities all of whom will have been referred to the service as they are unable to access the care they require in a general dental practice setting. The post holder will be supported by a Specialist in Special Care and a dedicated Senior Dental Officer alongside a highly experienced and friendly dental team.
The post holder will be encouraged to utilise their full scope of practice to perform a range of specialist clinical, restorative or preventative procedures without direct supervision according to treatment plans under the direction of dentists within the Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust Community Dental Service or under direct access to defined patient groups.
As you will be expected to provide support to all clinics across Gloucestershire, the ability to travel and work in all bases in the county is essential.
