Shape care. Lead teams. Build something that matters.

We are seeking an experienced and motivated General Dentist to take on a dual clinical and leadership role within Bannockburn Dental Practice, Stirling, combining 2–3 days of clinical practice with dedicated time to lead, influence, and help shape the future direction of the team.

This is a unique opportunity to combine hands-on patient care while playing a central role in shaping how exceptional dentistry is delivered, how teams grow, and how the practice continues to evolve.

• Dedicate approximately 4 hours per week to leadership responsibilities within the Practice Clinical Lead function
• Combine hands-on dentistry with protected time to support team development, clinical standards, and practice performance
• Flexibility to shape your contribution depending on the pathway you choose and practice requirements

The Opportunity

At Bannockburn Dental Practice, we understand that leadership means different things to different clinicians. That’s why we offer two clear pathways to help you shape your role around how you want to contribute.

• Combine clinical leadership with commercial influence and decision-making
• Help shape the direction of the practice, from patient care to business performance

• Partner closely with the Practice Manager to drive performance and patient outcomes
• Shape clinical standards, systems, and the patient journey
• Support and mentor clinicians within the practice team
