Regional Dentist Roles

Now in its second year, the scheme offers recent graduates a new type of dentistry role, with free continued professional development training (CPD) and realistic UDA targets across a variety of locations to help ease graduates into dentistry. After the success of the scheme last year, IDH have created a further 30 roles and are now recruiting 80 regional dentists.

The regional dentist scheme at IDH will put graduates into roaming positions across the country, gaining experience with the largest dental employer in the UK. This allows them to work in a variety of practices, with different clinicians during a year-long contract before they have the opportunity to move into self-employed Associate positions within the business.

Matt Reeves, head of resourcing at IDH says, “We’re aware of how tough the first year of work can be for a new dentist and this gives them an opportunity to secure a role that is tailored to their level of experience and desire for variety. We ran this scheme on a smaller scale last year with 50 graduates and were encouraged by their feedback so we have created a further 30 roles for this year’s graduates’.”
