We are delighted to be working with a well-established, modern mixed dental practice in Macclesfield that is seeking a Locum Dentist to support ongoing NHS demand with additional private opportunity.

This role is ideal for a locum dentist looking for reliable NHS volume, flexible working days, and the backing of a highly supportive, clinically led team. The practice has a strong reputation locally, excellent patient retention, and a modern setup that allows clinicians to work efficiently and comfortably.

About the Practice

• Established mixed practice with a predominantly NHS patient base
• Close to 2,000 Google reviews with a 4.9* rating 
• 8 modern surgeries in a well-invested clinical environment
• Town-centre location with free on-site parking
• Excellent patient feedback and long-standing local reputation
• Fully supported by an experienced management and coordination team

The Locum Role

• Deliver NHS dentistry with scope to undertake private treatments
• Flexible working pattern: minimum 2 days per week, up to full-time
• Monday to Friday availability only
• Immediate start available, with ongoing locum requirement
• Strong diary management and patient flow supported by a Treatment Co-ordinator

What’s on Offer

• £15 per UDA
• 50% private fee split
• Majority NHS workload with private upsell supported
• Digital practice including:
  
  • CBCT
  • iTero & Primescan scanners
  • Digital radiography
  • Rotary endodontics
  • Microscope
• Access to advanced treatments such as implants, Invisalign/STO, cosmetic dentistry, bonding and smile makeovers
• Exceptional clinical backup including senior clinicians and mentoring support

Requirements

• GDC registered Dentist
• Active NHS Performer Number
• Comfortable working in an NHS-focused environment
• Locum experience preferred but not essential

Why This Locum Role Stands Out

This is a rare locum opportunity offering both consistent NHS work and private earning potential, backed by modern technology and an unusually strong support structure. Flexible days, a respected clinical team, and a smooth-running practice make this an excellent option for locums seeking stability without long-term commitment.
