Specialty Dentist in Sedation and Special Care

An exciting opportunity to join our expanding team within the department of Sedation and Special Care Dentistry at Guys Hospital.

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust comprises five of the UK's best known hospitals - Guy's, St Thomas', Evelina London Children's Hospital, Royal Brompton and Harefield - as well as community services in Lambeth and Southwark, all with a long history of high quality care, clinical excellence, research and innovation.

We are among the UK's busiest, most successful foundation trusts. We provide specialist care for patients including heart and lung, cancer and renal services as well as a full range of local hospital and community services for people in Lambeth and Southwark.

We have a long tradition of clinical and scientific achievement and - as part of King's Health Partners - we are one of England's eight academic health sciences centres, bringing together world-class clinical services, teaching and research. We have one of the National Institute for Health Research's biomedical research centres, established with King's College London in 2007, as well as dedicated clinical research facilities.

We have around 22,700 staff, making us one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country and one of the biggest employers locally. We aim to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve and continue to develop new and existing partnerships with local people, patients, neighbouring NHS organisations, local authorities and charitable bodies and GPs.

Applications are invited for a part-time Specialty Dentist post. This is a fixed term contract for maternity cover.

We invite applications for dentists developing their experience and considering future specialty training in special care dentistry.

The appointee will deliver a comprehensive sedation and special care dentistry service for adult patients. Applicants must have full GDC registration and experience in providing special care dentistry for adult patients under a range of conscious sedation techniques.

The successful applicant will be expected to develop the department's clinical services and take an active role in undergraduate and postgraduate training.

As an organisation we are committed to developing our services in ways that best suit the needs of our patients. This means that some staff groups will increasingly be asked to work a more flexible shift pattern so that we can offer services in the evenings or at weekends.
