Part time Consultant Orthodontist

Job overview

This part time fixed term post is perfect for a Consultant whose longer term goal is to retire to the South West, a newly qualified Consultant waiting for the right job to come up closer to home, or a Consultant with commitments elsewhere (but can offer us regular sessions on a fixed term basis).

We are flexible on the sessions available (2-6 sessions) and the length of the fixed term contract (12-24 months)

You will join a dynamic team, in a beautiful part of the world. Although our case mix is complex, we support each other in planning and delivering care.  We are a friendly department, focusing on high quality patient centred care delivered with compassion.

• If you have been referred to this role by a current DCHFT employee (and you currently reside outside of Dorset) your friend can also receive a referral payment – make sure to include  this at the start of your supporting information and include your friend's full name. For more information, please see document attached and please email [email protected]

Main duties of the job

You will:

• Provide orthodontic care for patients in the east of Dorset with complex orthodontic needs
• Supervise multidisciplinary teams to deliver cleft, orthognathic and hypodontia care
• Deliver high quality, customer focused care

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

We can offer you:

• An opportunity to deliver care to a broad and complex patient group.
• A chance to improve your clinical and communication skills.
• A chance to work with a large multidisciplinary team including therapists, hygienists, technicians, oral health educators and orthodontic nurses as well as colleagues in Maxillofacial Surgery and Restorative Dentistry.

We are a Trust that celebrates diversity and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We would welcome applications from people in groups which are under-represented in our organisation.
