The University of Suffolk Dental Community Interest Company (CIC) is an exciting and innovative collaboration between the University of Suffolk and the Suffolk and North East Essex Integrated Care Board, seeking to provide high-quality NHS dental services to the population of Suffolk through brand new, state of the art clinical facilities situated on the scenic Ipswich Waterfront. The CIC will open its doors to patients in Spring 2023.

As a new provider of NHS dental care in the region the CIC is well-placed to offer ordinary dentistry delivered with extraordinary care. Our ethos is all about enabling dental care, improving oral health by increasing access to dental services and at the same time providing opportunities for those starting or continuing a dental career in the East of England.

This will be a key role in the set up and on-going development of the Community Interest Company. Depending on timing, appointment may initially be hosted by the University of Suffolk (with subsequent TUPE transfer to the Community Interest Company, which will then directly employ). The terms and conditions of the appointments will be those of the CIC rather than the University.Further information can be provided at interview.
