Job description

Associate Dentist | Independent, Family-Owned Dental Group

Location: East Sussex

Earning Potential: £80,000 - £100,000+ per annum OTE

Working Days: 5 days per week (Monday to Friday)

Remuneration: £14 - £15 per UDA | 45% Private Fee Split

Elev8 Search Group is working in partnership with an established, independent, family owned dental group in East Sussex to recruit an Associate Dentist for one of its well established mixed practices.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Dentist looking to move away from a large corporate environment and join a smaller, family run group where clinical freedom, professional relationships and genuinely supportive leadership are at the heart of how the practices operate.

Unlike larger corporate organisations, this is a group where the owners remain closely involved, decisions are made with clinicians in mind and Dentists are trusted to exercise their own clinical judgement.

What makes this opportunity particularly attractive is the combination of an established patient list ready to take over, immediate clinical activity and the opportunity to develop significant private revenue, without the pressure of building a patient base from scratch.

The practice is continuing to invest in its facilities and expand its clinical capacity, creating an opportunity for either one full time Associate or two part time Dentists to join the team.

This is a flexible mixed NHS and private position offering £14 - £15 per UDA, a 45% private fee split and the potential to achieve annual earnings £80,000 - £100,000+ per annum OTE

The incoming Dentist will benefit from an established patient list with existing demand for appointments, providing the opportunity to step into a busy clinical environment from the outset.

There is significant NHS activity available, with up to 10,000 UDAs potentially available per Associate. Importantly, the practice is open to discussing individual UDA allocations to suit working patterns and clinical preferences.

Alongside the established NHS patient base, there is considerable scope to develop private dentistry, particularly within cosmetic and restorative treatments, including composite bonding and injection moulding.

The practice has a loyal, multigenerational patient base, with many families attending over several years. This provides an excellent foundation for developing long term patient relationships, comprehensive treatment planning and appropriate private treatment opportunities.

Clinical freedom is a genuine priority within the group.

Associates are encouraged to practise in a way that reflects their clinical judgement, professional experience and commitment to delivering high quality patient care.

The advertised earning potential of £100,000+ is an estimate rather than a guaranteed income. Actual earnings will depend on working days, NHS activity, private treatment uptake and individual clinical performance.

Independent, family owned dental group with a supportive, clinician focused approach.

Established, well regarded mixed dental practice with a loyal patient base.

Full clinical freedom and autonomy, with Dentists trusted to make appropriate clinical decisions for their patients.

Existing patient list ready to take over, providing immediate access to an established diary.

5 days per week available, with flexibility for part time or full time Associates.

Monday to Friday working, with practice opening hours of 8am - 5pm.

£14 - £15 per UDA.

Up to 10,000 UDAs potentially available per Associate, with individual allocations open to discussion.

45% private fee split, with laboratory costs shared 50/50.

£80,000 - £100,000+ per annum OTE potential through combined NHS and private activity.

Excellent scope to develop private dentistry, particularly cosmetic bonding, injection moulding and other restorative treatments.

Modern digital facilities, including an intraoral scanner, rotary endodontic equipment and SOE.

On site Dental Hygienist available four days per week.

Experienced Dental Nurse support, with dedicated nursing arrangements available if preferred.

Approachable and accessible Clinical Director, offering ongoing mentorship, clinical guidance and support whenever needed.

Direct access to a management team that remains personally involved in the day-to-day running of the group.

Continued investment in practice facilities and additional surgery capacity.

Visa sponsorship available for suitable candidates.

We're keen to speak with Dentists who are passionate about delivering high quality dentistry, building meaningful patient relationships and working within an environment where their clinical judgement is genuinely valued.

The practice is open to both experienced Associates and Dentists who have recently completed Foundation Training and are looking for a supportive environment in which to further develop their clinical skills.

For more experienced clinicians, the established patient base and opportunities to develop private treatments provide an attractive platform to maximise their earning potential while maintaining clinical independence.

For Dentists earlier in their careers, the practice offers access to an approachable Clinical Director, a supportive clinical team and opportunities to develop confidence across both NHS and private dentistry.

We're particularly interested in speaking with Dentists who have strong communication skills, enjoy discussing comprehensive treatment plans and are confident helping patients understand the treatment options available to them.

Above all, the group is looking for someone who values patient care, takes pride in their clinical work and wants to become part of a practice where Dentists are treated as individuals rather than simply another number.

If you're an Associate Dentist looking for a busy, established patient list, genuine clinical freedom and the opportunity to develop your private earnings within an independent, family-owned dental group, this could be an excellent opportunity.

Whether you're looking for two days per week or a full time position, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.

For more information, contact John on 07475 904699 or apply directly to learn more about the practice, the opportunity and the earning potential.

All applications and enquiries will be handled in confidence.
