Defence Primary
Healthcare (DPHC) is a vibrant and fast paced organisation which aims to
provide the absolute best primary healthcare to members of the Armed Forces and
other entitled personnel.
Our MOD Dentists
aim is to maximise the deployability of the Population at Risk, providing
clinical outputs, improving, and managing the dental health and operational
fitness of service personnel for whom they are responsible for.
Within your contracted weekly hours, 2 hours may be attributed to
nonclinical activities including practice meetings, training, and personal

remainder of the contracted hours are to be utilised to provide clinical
outputs and work will be directed towards improving and maintaining the dental
health and operational fitness of personnel for whom you are responsible.
Here
at Defence Primary Healthcare (DPHC), we are an inclusive and dedicated
organisation working to provide excellent care to our entitled personnel.
Our
success depends on our people, our Whole Force regular and reservist military,
civil servants, and contractors, all working as one, working together
seamlessly to deliver for us.
Our
civil servants are a central part of this Whole Force, developing strategy,
making policy, supporting ministerial decision-making and Parliamentary
processes. In fact, with over 2,000 distinct roles working across 650 sites
around the world, now really is an excellent time to join one of the largest,
most exciting departments in government.
The
Ministry of Defence is committed to attracting and retaining people from across
the full range of backgrounds and enabling flexible ways of working as the
norm. We offer maternity, adoption, or shared parental leave of up to 26 weeks
full pay followed by 13 weeks of statutory pay and a further 13 weeks unpaid,
and paternity leave of 2 weeks full pay.
In
return, you can expect a department that helps you learn and develop that
recognises your expertise and contribution, both as an individual and part of a
team.
