This post is based within the Public Dental Service and requires the successful candidate to provide clinical services across a range of locations throughout NHS Borders.
The position is offered on a full-time, permanent basis, working 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 4.30pm. The post holder will also participate in an out-of-hours on-call rota supporting the Borders Emergency Dental Service (BEDS) at weekends.
