United Dentacare

Candidates

There is an abundance of work for dentists in the UK. We pride ourselves with being able to find you locum or permanent work locally to where you live, and in the working environment of your choice.

Whether you are looking for an ad-hoc shift or a long term locum job as a dentist, United Dentacare can help. We have great opportunities across the whole of the UK dental sector. Exact payment rate depends on your grade, speciality and the rate that the practice is prepared to pay. We will inform you of the payment rate offered by the practice prior to you accepting any position.

Some dentists are employed on a PAYE basis, but most are self employed, which means you will need to register as such with the Inland Revenue, & will be responsible for your own National Insurance contributions and tax.

If you are a qualified Dentist from the UK or have had your qualification verified with the General Dental Council www.gdc-uk.org, and have full registration, then you have come to the right place! If your qualification is not recognised in the UK then you may still be eligible to work as a dental nurse, which we can also help you with. We also run overseas qualified dentists (Familiarization in Dental Nursing) courses.

Please also refer to our coming from overseas section to find out further information regarding registration, and just generally settling in.

Please also ensure that you have obtained the necessary liability insurance.
