The successful candidate will join our team of experienced professionals in the Oral Surgery Department, working alongside consultants, a speciality dentist, and specialty and core training grade staff.

The OMFS part of the post is based in a busy Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery unit with a dedicated ward, offering experience in the management of oncology, trauma, and facial deformity in outpatient clinics and operating lists. The post also offers experience of dento-alveolar surgery under general anaesthesia, local anaesthesia, inhalational, and intravenous sedation.

This post has deanery approval for training, and the successful applicant will receive training opportunities at the appropriate level based on previous experience. There may be a possibility to extend this appointment to the end of the training year.

We are committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. We welcome applications from all sections of society and will fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.
