We’re looking for an Associate Dentist to join us at The Mead Dental Practice in Plymouth.
We’re an established, independent private practice with loyal patients, a long-standing team and a friendly, relaxed culture. We care about doing good dentistry, looking after people properly and enjoying where we work.
We’re looking for someone who is engaged, enthusiastic and takes real pride in their work - someone who enjoys people as much as dentistry and would like to become a valued part of the practice.
You might already be an experienced private dentist, or you may be looking for a supportive environment in which to develop the next stage of your career.
You don’t need to arrive as the finished article. Attitude, communication, clinical integrity and a willingness to keep learning matter enormously to us.
What you'll find at The Mead
We have an established private and membership-plan patient base, alongside:
• an experienced and supportive team
• dental therapists and hygienists working alongside our dentists
• digital dentistry, including intraoral scanning
• established referral pathways for more complex care
• good clinical facilities and clinical freedom
• a broad range of general and restorative dentistry
• a team who care about their patients, support one another and don't take themselves too seriously
We’re also developing the way our dentists and therapists work together, making better use of everyone’s skills and creating a more collaborative way of caring for our patients.
You might enjoy working at The Mead if you…
• provide thoughtful, high-quality private dentistry
• communicate well and enjoy building genuine relationships with patients
• bring enthusiasm and take ownership of your work
• want to keep developing clinically
• enjoy being part of a team
• value ethical, patient-centred dentistry
• are comfortable working collaboratively with therapists and hygienists
• would enjoy contributing to the wider life and development of the practice
The position would initially be for two days per week, with scope for the role to develop over time.
We think associate dentistry can be a genuinely rewarding career: the opportunity to focus on your patients and your clinical development while having the support, systems and team of an established private practice around you.
Above all, we’re looking for someone who shares our approach to patient care and would like to build something here over time.
If this sounds like the sort of practice where you could enjoy your dentistry and do your best work, we’d love to have an informal, confidential conversation.
Interested? Get in touch with Laura for an informal conversation about the opportunity and The Mead.
