We are currently recruiting an Associate Dentist for a busy, predominantly NHS practice in Salford. This opportunity suits a confident general dentist who enjoys a fast-paced environment, wants reliable NHS activity, and would like scope to build private in a supportive, well-organised setting. Start date is flexible and the working pattern is negotiable.

About the practice

• 4-surgery clinic with a well-run diary and strong patient demand
• Modern clinical setup including CBCT, OPG, digital scanner and rotary endo
• Supportive front-of-house team and experienced, trained dental nurses
• Free parking nearby plus convenient local transport links

The role

• Predominantly NHS dentistry with excellent UDA availability
• Consistent patient flow in a high-demand area
• Opportunity to develop private treatments as demand grows (e.g., cosmetic/composite bonding)
• Efficient clinical systems designed to help you work at pace without compromising quality
• Hours typically 8:00am–5:00pm with 1-hour lunch (can be discussed)

What’s on offer

• Up to £14 UDA (depending on experience)
• Private split 50/50 with 50/50 lab fees
• Flexible days per week (part-time or full-time options)
• Supportive team culture and a modern environment to deliver high-quality general dentistry

Requirements

• GDC registration
• NHS Performer Number
• Confident in general dentistry and comfortable managing an active NHS list
