Mobile dental unit officers

Our mobile dental unit officers drive our charity dental units to locations across the UK. They assist our clinical supervisors with setting up and packing away clinics, help our patients and help ensure our charity dental clinics run smoothly.  Applicants must have a C1 endorsement and be able to drive vehicles up to 7,500kg.  This role involves day trips from our base near Southampton and longer trips across the UK for which accommodation and expenses will be provided.  Our mobile dental unit officers play a crucial role in helping us provide dental care for people experiencing homelessness and other hard-to-reach groups, so a compassionate approach is essential.

For further details either send your CV to Wendy Cummins, head of operations, wendy@dentaid.org or contact Richard Hill, fleet supervisor, to arrange an informal visit or chat richard@dentaid.org.
