We provide flexible locum dental staffing for private practices and NHS clinics across the UK. Whether you need cover for holidays, maternity leave, or unexpected absences, Gorilla Jobs connects you with qualified locum dentists, dental nurses, and hygienists. We work with both private organisations and public dental services to supply temporary professionals when they are needed most.
Opening a new practice, expanding an existing one, or restructuring your dental team? Gorilla Jobs offers project sourcing for dental practices with significant staffing requirements. We coordinate the recruitment and onboarding of multiple dental professionals at once, so you can focus on running your practice. Submit a dental vacancy and let us handle the rest.
We begin by understanding your practice's needs, team culture, and clinical requirements. From there, we shortlist candidates from our dental network, screen for qualifications and GDC registration where applicable, arrange interviews, and support you through contractual negotiations. Our goal is to present you with candidates who are genuinely suited to your practice.
We recruit across the full range of dental practice roles: dentists (associate and principal), dental nurses, dental hygienists, dental therapists, practice managers, and reception and administration staff. We work with both private practices and NHS clinics throughout the UK.
Our candidate-first approach to dental recruitment means we invest time in understanding each professional's clinical skills, career aspirations, and personal circumstances before presenting them to your practice. This thorough screening process means you only meet candidates who are a strong match, saving you time and reducing the risk of a poor hire.
Timelines vary depending on the role, location, and the level of specialisation required. Locum placements can often be arranged within days. Permanent roles such as associate dentists or practice managers may take several weeks to fill with the right candidate. We keep you informed throughout the process.
We understand that circumstances can change, even with the most carefully matched placements. For permanent positions, we offer a warranty period which includes a replacement search at no additional cost should the placed professional leave within the agreed timeframe.
We offer both permanent and locum dental positions across the UK, including roles for dentists, dental nurses, hygienists, therapists, and practice managers. Opportunities are available in private practices, NHS clinics, and corporate dental groups. Find out more about our process for dental professionals.
No, not at all. Our dental recruitment service is completely free for candidates. All recruitment fees are covered by the hiring practice. Our consultants will also negotiate the best possible remuneration package on your behalf.
Your enquiry is treated in strict confidence. We will never share your CV or personal details with a dental practice without your explicit consent and confirmed interest in that particular role. You remain in full control of where your information is sent.
GDC registration is required for clinical dental roles, including dentist, dental nurse, hygienist, and therapist positions. Non-clinical roles such as practice manager or receptionist do not require GDC registration. We verify all relevant registrations as part of our screening process.
Our dental recruitment consultants aim to respond within 24 to 48 hours. If your skills and experience closely match a current dental vacancy, you may hear from us sooner.
Gorilla Jobs' mission is to connect skilled dental professionals with rewarding career opportunities across the UK through our candidate-first recruitment model.
We achieve this by actively listening and fully understanding the needs of both dental professionals and the practices that employ them, putting the human back into dental recruitment. Our commitment to modern recruitment technology and innovative matching processes ensures that dental practices find the right fit, and dental professionals find roles where they can thrive.
