Dental Therapist

North Yorkshire, Yorkshire, England
£34 per hour
Expiry date:13 Sep 2026
Start date:15 Jun 2026
🦷 Dental Therapist | Finally, a Role Where You Can Actually Be a Therapist 🦷
Mixed Practice Group | Pickering & Malton | £34ph Self-Employed | 4–5 Days | No Weekends

Let's be honest.

A lot of Dental Therapist roles end up looking very different to what you trained for. Endless hygiene appointments, the occasional filling squeezed in, and very little opportunity to work to your full scope.
This isn't one of those roles.

We're recruiting on behalf of a thriving mixed practice group looking for a confident Dental Therapist who genuinely enjoys delivering treatment. If you'd rather spend your day restoring teeth, carrying out extractions and making a real clinical impact than simply polishing your way through the diary, this opportunity deserves your attention.

💷 The Essentials

Position: Dental Therapist
Contract: Permanent, Self-Employed
Working Pattern: 4–5 days per week
Location: Pickering & Malton
Rate: £34 per hour
Start Date: ASAP

🕒 Your Working Week
  • Monday to Friday
  • 9:00am – 5:00pm
And because life exists outside of dentistry...

✨ No weekends
✨ No bank holidays

Just a sensible schedule and a great work-life balance.

🦷 What You'll Actually Be Doing

This role has been designed to make the most of your clinical skills.

Your diary will predominantly focus on:

✔ Restorative treatment and fillings
✔ Extractions carried out independently
✔ Preventive dentistry and patient education
✔ Periodontal maintenance where clinically appropriate
✔ Some hygiene appointments — but not a hygiene-heavy workload

In short, you'll spend far more time treating than scaling.

🏥 About the Practices

Joining this established mixed practice group means becoming part of a team that genuinely values the contribution of its Therapists.

You'll benefit from:

✨ Busy, established patient lists
✨ Experienced clinicians who work collaboratively
✨ Modern equipment and digital workflows
✨ SOE software
✨ EMS Airflow technology available
✨ Teams that support one another and enjoy what they do

It's a clinical environment where you're trusted to do what you do best.

👀 Who They're Looking For

You'll thrive here if you are:

✔ GDC-registered as a Dental Therapist
✔ Confident carrying out fillings and extractions independently
✔ Comfortable travelling between the Pickering and Malton sites
✔ Passionate about delivering excellent patient care
✔ Friendly, approachable and able to put patients at ease
✔ Keen to work as part of a supportive multidisciplinary team

Most importantly, they're looking for someone who enjoys being hands-on and wants to utilise the full breadth of their qualification.

🌟 Why This Role Stands Out
  • £34 per hour self-employed rate
  • Flexible 4–5 day working week
  • No weekends or bank holidays
  • Genuine treatment-led role
  • Focus on restorative dentistry and extractions
  • Modern practices with EMS Airflow technology
  • Established patient demand from day one
  • Supportive clinicians who value Therapist-led care
  • Opportunity to work to your full scope of practice
