Dentist - Community Dentistry Developmental Trainee

Dentist – Community Dentistry Developmental Trainee

The post holder will be a qualified dentist. This role allows the post holder to undertake a range of duties within Plymouth Community Dental Services (PCDS). The focus on this post will be on informal development and training, enabling the post holder to gain skills beyond those of a general dental practitioner in paediatric and special care adult dental provision. There will also be opportunities to undertake minor oral surgery.

The post holder will be encouraged to develop skills under the guidance of Specialist clinicians in MOS, Special Care, and Paediatrics, and undertake further training in conscious sedation and GA exodontia within a secondary care setting. The aim of this post is to acquire the skills necessary for a Tier 2 practitioner in Paediatric and Special Care (Adult) dentistry. Progression to Senior Dental Officer (Band B) can be considered once the post holder is deemed to be working at this level, assessed via annual appraisal and subject to a role becoming available. Typically, this progression may take 3-5 years.

This is an informal development opportunity and does not attract a National Training Number.
