Dental Officer - Band A

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated dentist to join the Community Dental Service in East Surrey. The service provides specialist dental care for children, adults, and older people who are unable to access general dental services due to physical, medical, mental health, or social needs.

The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering a comprehensive range of dental care for patients with additional and complex needs. This will include both children and adults with learning disabilities, medically compromising conditions, and mental health conditions under local and inhalation sedation.

The role also involves providing domiciliary dental care; therefore, the ability to travel and a valid driving licence are essential.

We are a leading local employer with a diverse workforce of approximately 6,000 staff, dedicated to providing healthcare services to a growing population of around 780,000 individuals.

Our Trust provides both emergency and planned healthcare across East Surrey, North-East West Sussex, and South Croydon - covering towns like Crawley, Horsham, Reigate, and Redhill. Our main hospital, East Surrey in Redhill, offers a full range of acute and specialist services and is also the closest trauma unit to Gatwick Airport. We also provide outpatient, diagnostic, and planned care services at sites including The Earlswood Centre, Caterham Dene Hospital, Oxted Health Centre, Crawley Hospital, and Horsham Hospital.

We are proud to be an inclusive employer, and we work hard to create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. At our Trust, we strive to be the best place to work and receive care. We are dedicated to supporting you in your current role while helping you grow and develop your career.
