Job description

Associate Dentist – Mixed NHS & Private

Dental & Implant Clinic| Scunthorpe

Secure NHS income. Real private growth. A practice that backs you.

If you’re a dentist who wants the stability of NHS work without giving up ambition, this could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

The Dental & Implant Clinic is a well‑established mixed practice in Scunthorpe, offering a rare opportunity to combine dependable NHS revenue and NHS pension access with the freedom and support to grow a high‑quality private patient list.

Whether you’re currently NHS‑focused and curious about private dentistry, or already working mixed and wanting to do more, we’ll meet you where you are and help you build forward.

Why The Dental & Implant Clinic?

• Well‑established, respected practice with a loyal NHS and private patient base
• Supportive, experienced clinical and practice team
• Modern, high‑end technology and a well‑maintained working environment
• Strong local reputation for patient care and professionalism

Full‑time or part‑time available with genuinely flexible days and hours.

The Best of Both Worlds

• NHS security – stable income, consistent demand, NHS pension benefits
• Private opportunity – time, support, and marketing to grow private work at your pace
• Clinical autonomy – you decide how you practice

We actively support dentists who want to transition from NHS‑heavy to mixed, or develop private dentistry alongside NHS work without pressure.

What You’ll Get with PortmanDentex

Joining The Parade Dental Practice also means becoming part of PortmanDentex, a group that is both private‑focused whilst fully appreciating the value of NHS dentistry.

You’ll benefit from:

• Full clinical freedom Use your preferred materials, labs, equipment, and referral pathways — you remain fully self‑employed and clinically independent.
• Private growth support Access to first‑class marketing, branding, and business support to help you build private dentistry sustainably and ethically.
• Mentoring & CPD that actually adds value Webinars, hands‑on training, mentoring programmes, and learning from international educators, university professors, and published clinicians.
• Clinical Leads who are dentists Practising clinicians who understand real‑world dentistry and support you clinically — not managers who’ve never picked up a handpiece.
• Career flexibility Opportunities across the PortmanDentex group, including dual‑site working if that suits your lifestyle or career plans.

Who This Role Suits

• NHS dentists looking for security with progression
• Mixed dentists wanting more private opportunity
• Dentists who value support, autonomy, and long‑term career sustainability
