Associate Dentist – Full Time – Sunderland 4000 UDAs Rising to 6000, Replacing Long Term Established Dentist + Private Denplan Included Full Time

We are an ambitious team and are looking for a suitable candidate that shares our goals, vision and commitment to patients’ oral health. We are looking for an experienced Associate Dentist to take over from one of our long term established dentists who is looking to retire in 2021.

The successful candidate will enjoy working in our busy NHS and Private dental practice. You will need to excel and take complete ownership of the main roles of the position, and be able to work independently whilst reporting back to the Principal periodically.

Key Benefits:

• 4 Days 4000 UDAs £12 per UDA – Rising to 5 Days 6000 UDAs in year 2/3
• 80-100 Private Denplan Care Patients
• Achievable Income £50,000 – £80,000
• Potential for further turnover from Fee Per Item
• 50% Private Income
• Additional Income also Available from PDS contracts
• Existing Patient Lists Established for 20+ Years
• Zero Nurse Turnover for past 6 years!
• Excellent Facilities and Environment
• Near Metro Station

We are looking for a minimum 3-5 year commitment, but ideally this is a position for a settled dentist who is looking for a long term position to grow into and make their own.

The role will likely start with 4000 UDAs in year 1 as well as a significant number of established Denplan patients (subject to staged handover). In subsequent years you will have the opportunity to increase this up to 6000 UDAs, as our leaving dentist fully retires. This is one of our main dentists with established patient lists (NHS and Private) for the past 20 years. We are only looking for candidates with excellent patient skills and someone who will fit seamlessly into our team.  We can offer flexibility on sessions/days based around you and the practice open hours (we have plenty of surgeries and capacity in various sessions).  We also have an employed Therapist in the practice (charged at competitive rate to Dentist – Not UDA share).

A competitive package is available to the successful candidate –

• Excellent UDA rate £12 x 4000 UDAs = £48,000
• 50% Private income (minus labs) (Currently £18-20,000 per annum)
• Fee per item in addition to above
• Additional PDS Income
• Total income £65-80,000 achievable in 4 Days (Year 1)

Key Skills and Qualifications –

• Candidate must be comfortable and efficient in delivering NHS UDAs, and continued delivery whilst increasing Private turnover.
• You should be good at building rapport with patients and offering private dentistry options in a relaxed manner. We have an excellent private dentistry reputation based on patient and dentist relationships, it is a softly softly approach rather than a hard sell.
• GDC Registration and Performer Required
• All levels of experience will be considered

– An enhanced CRB check will be required for successful candidate

– Only GDC registered qualified Dentists should apply, those currently in FD training year will also be considered.
