We currently have a vacancy at our Special Care Dental clinics, located in the East Hampshire area and can offer an immediate start to join a team of likeminded dental professionals.

At Solent we provide the best for our teams and patients with established surgeries and state of the art equipment and the use of theatre space in local hospitals. We will offer you a varied caseload where every day brings new challenges with excellent opportunities to upskill in topics such as conscious sedation and domiciliary dentistry, and access to a training budget to maintain your personal development.

If you are looking for somewhere you can make a real difference with appointment times to enable quality dentistry, a career with us may be just what you're looking for!

Care will mainly be provided in clinic locations but may also be provided in hospital and domiciliary setting where appropriate.
