Roving Associate Dentist

Clyde Munro is seeking a dedicated and adaptable Roving Dentist to join our established network across Scotland. This is a unique opportunity to combine flexibility and variety with the security of a salaried role, supporting our practices while delivering continuity of care to loyal patient bases.

About the Role

This position is specifically designed as a caretaker role, supporting our associate dentists during periods of maternity leave or long-term absence. You will not be covering vacant positions; instead, you will inherit a well-maintained, up-to-date patient list within an established and supportive team. Each placement (or "rotation") typically lasts 6-9 months, during which time you will be based in a single practice. This allows you to build rapport with patients and colleagues, while providing reassurance and continuity during your colleague's absence. At the end of each rotation a new placement will be arranged-giving you variety without uncertainty. Patients you'll be caring for are loyal, engaged, and appreciative, understanding that you are supporting their practice while their usual dentist is away. This creates a rewarding clinical environment where your contribution is genuinely valued.

Location

With 65 practices across Scotland, this role offers a broad range of locations. While placements may be nationwide, the majority are in Central, East, and West Scotland, and we aim to plan rotations with practicality in mind.

Working Pattern & Salary

• Salary up to £120,000 per annum (based on 4-5 days per week)
• Flexible working options: 3, 4, or 5 days per week
• 3 day roles considered, with salary offered on a pro rated basis

Why This Role?

• Flexibility in working patterns and locations
• The stability and benefits of a salaried position
• The reassurance of working with well maintained, loyal patient lists
• A role where you are valued as a trusted stand in, not filling gaps in vacant posts

What You'll Be Doing

• Delivering high quality, patient focused dental care
• Maintaining continuity for patients during associate absences
• Integrating seamlessly into established practice teams
• Upholding excellent clinical and compliance standards

What We're Looking For

• GDC registered Dentist with a strong commitment to patient care
• Adaptable and confident across different clinical environments
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• Full UK driving licence (travel is essential)

What We Offer

• Competitive salary with flexible working options
• Structured rotations with forward planning
• Supportive and collaborative working culture
• Opportunity to gain experience across a wide network of practices

If you're looking for a role that offers meaningful work, variety, and security in equal measure, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and become a valued part of Clyde Munro's nationwide team.
