Gorilla Jobs Dental is working with a well-established mixed dental practice in the Blackburn area that is looking to welcome an Associate Dentist on a part-time basis (2–3 days per week).

This role is particularly attractive due to its exceptionally strong UDA rate of £14.50, making it an excellent opportunity for an associate seeking reliable NHS income within a supportive, long-standing practice environment.

About the Practice

• Established mixed NHS/private practice with a loyal patient base
• Strong reputation within the local community
• Well-organised diary with consistent patient demand
• Supportive management team focused on clinician wellbeing and stability
• Easily commutable location with a calm, professional working environment

The Role

• Associate Dentist position with a predominantly NHS workload
• Up to 7,000 UDAs available, with flexibility depending on availability and preference
• Suitable for experienced associates or dentists seeking a long-term, part-time role
• Well-supported clinical environment with experienced nursing and administrative staff

What’s on Offer

• £14.50 per UDA – clearly above average for the area
• 2-3 days per week (days negotiable)
• Flexible UDA allocation to suit individual preferences
• Mixed practice with private opportunity alongside NHS
• Stable, well-maintained surgery environment
• Supportive and experienced dental team

Requirements

• GDC registered Dentist
• Active NHS Performer Number
• Comfortable delivering NHS dentistry to a high standard
• Good communication skills and a patient-focused approach

Why This Role Stands Out Opportunities offering a £14.50 UDA rate are increasingly rare. Combined with flexible part-time working, negotiable UDAs, and a settled, well-run practice, this role is ideal for an associate seeking strong earnings without the pressure of full-time commitment.
