Job Description

Competitive
Part Time
Bristol & South West

Horizon Dental Jobs works with a range of specialist and mixed practices across Bristol and the South West, sourcing Orthodontists for both NHS and private practices. Roles range from part time to full time associate positions, with support for candidates moving from general dentistry into orthodontic-focused work as well as those already established in the specialty.

Once you register, we match you against live vacancies that fit the way you want to work, and handle the introduction from first contact through to offer — so you only hear about roles that genuinely suit you and your earning goals.

Your profile

  • GDC-registered dentist with specialist orthodontic training (or working towards specialist registration), or significant experience in orthodontic-focused general practice
  • Confident managing fixed appliances, clear aligner systems and retention planning
  • Comfortable working alongside orthodontic therapists and treatment coordinators
  • Strong communicator, especially with younger patients and their parents/guardians
  • Right to work in the UK

Key responsibilities

  • Deliver orthodontic care — carry out assessments, treatment planning and ongoing appliance management across your booked list
  • Oversee treatment progress — monitor cases through to debond and retention, adjusting plans as needed
  • Support the wider team — work closely with therapists, nurses and reception to keep patient flow running smoothly
