Join us as a Consultant Orthodontist

If you are looking for a consultant post in a dynamic department, in a beautiful part of the world that offers a good work-life balance, then we have a great opportunity you.

You will be based in Dorchester, but you will also have the opportunity to work in Bournemouth, helping to ensure that all of our patients in Dorset have access to high quality care.

We are a friendly department, focusing on patient centred care delivered with compassion. Although our case mix is complex, we support each other in planning care. We also have a good network of regional colleagues who we can ask for advice or even second opinions.

You will join two dedicated and enthusiastic consultants who place high value on their contribution to training and assessment at both regional and national levels. If you have an ambition to become an examiner, we can support you as we have experience as both Membership in Orthodontics (MOrth) and Intercollegiate Specialty Fellowship (ISFE) Examiners. We can also support your development as a trainer as one of our consultants is an Associate Postgraduate Dental Dean.

Our department is active in research, with strong connections to the University of Bristol and you will be fully supported in furthering any research interests you have. As a smaller hospital, we have stronger and first-rate working relationships with our colleagues in maxfax, community dentistry, restorative dentistry and cleft services and we also have a proactive relationship with our Trust’s executive team and commissioners.

We also have exceptional relationships with our referring specialist practitioners as we deliver secondary care services across Dorset and deliver complex care at the most appropriate location.

In joining us you will be part of and supported by a professional, committed and hardworking workforce with the patient at the heart of everything we do.

We wish you much success in your application and look forward to welcoming you.
