At Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, 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!

Our mental health services include community-based support and early intervention in psychosis (EIP) for both adults and young people, alongside a network of specialist inpatient wards covering forensic, learning disability, eating disorder and older person's care.

Our neurological services offer rehabilitation and treatment for conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Head Injury, Cerebral Palsy and Stroke.
