Secure NHS income. Real private growth. A practice that backs you.
If you’re a dentist who wants the stability of NHS work without giving up ambition, this could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
St Michaels Dental Practice is a well-established mixed practice in Wakefield, offering a rare opportunity to combine dependable NHS revenue and NHS pension access with the freedom and support to grow a high-quality private patient list.
Whether you’re currently NHS-focused and curious about private dentistry, or already working mixed and wanting to do more — we’ll meet you where you are and help you build forward.
- Well-established, respected practice with a loyal NHS and private patient base
- Supportive, experienced clinical and practice team
- High UDA Rate on offer
- Up to 3800 UDA available.
- Modern, high-end technology and a well-maintained working environment
- Strong local reputation for patient care and professionalism
- Part time hours available with flexibility on the days.
✔ NHS security – stable income, consistent demand, NHS pension benefits ✔ Private opportunity – time, support, and marketing to grow private work at your pace ✔ Clinical autonomy – you decide how you practice
We actively support dentists who want to transition from NHS-heavy to mixed, or develop private dentistry alongside NHS work without pressure.
Joining St Michaels, also means becoming part of PortmanDentex, a group that is both private-focused whilst fully appreciating the value of NHS dentistry.
· Full clinical freedom Use your preferred materials, labs, equipment, and referral pathways — you remain fully self-employed and clinically independent.
· Private growth support Access to first-class marketing, branding, and business support to help you build private dentistry sustainably and ethically.
· Mentoring & CPD that actually adds value Webinars, hands-on training, mentoring programmes, and learning from international educators, university professors, and published clinicians.
· Clinical Leads who are dentists Practising clinicians who understand real-world dentistry and support you clinically — not managers who’ve never picked up a handpiece.
· Career flexibility Opportunities across the PortmanDentex group, including dual-site working if that suits your lifestyle or career plans.
· NHS dentists looking for security with progression
· Mixed dentists wanting more private opportunity
· Dentists who value support, autonomy, and long-term career sustainability
