This is a genuine career opportunity for a Dental Therapist who wants to work at the top of their scope in a practice that is built around the therapist-led model. Based in Middlesbrough centre five minutes from the train station with easy nearby parking, this eight-surgery practice puts therapists at the heart of patient care.
You'll be working with a full direct access remit, managing your own patient list, and supported by a principal who genuinely values the therapist role. With a UDHA rate of £11–£12.50 and a 40% private split, this is a well-rewarded position with room to grow as the practice actively expands its private offering.

- 40% private earnings split
- 50/50 lab bills
- Full direct access - manage your own patient caseload with clinical autonomy
- Full-time or 4 days considered
- OPG, digital X-rays in each surgery, rotary endo, and intraoral scanner on site
- City-centre location — five minutes from Middlesbrough station, buses, and easy parking
Who We're Looking For - GDC registration as a Dental Therapist — mandatory
- NHS Performer Number — mandatory
- Direct access qualification and experience — mandatory
- A therapist who is confident, self-motivated, and well-presented
- Someone who takes pride in their clinical skill set and wants to work at the top of their scope
- A team player with a professional, approachable manner — this is a close-knit clinical team
- Full working rights - sponsorship is not available for this role
- Ability to work full-time or 4 days per week
About the Practice - 8-surgery, city-centre practice - Victorian building with high ceilings, large windows, brand-new chairs, and a light-filled working environment
- Therapist-led model - therapists run the majority of patient consultations and are central to how the practice operates
- Dentally software used practice-wide, with a mix of trained and trainee nurses
- 90–95% NHS currently, with a clear and active plan to grow private — late evenings being introduced
- New ownership - a hands-on principal invested in building the right team for the long term
- Still accepting new NHS patients, with a stable inherited list already in place
- A growing team - currently three therapists, with this role being a key part of the next phase of development
