Job summary
Looking for a Dental Therapist role that offers flexibility as well as purpose?
We're building a brand new Oral Health service in Tower Hamlets and are looking for passionate Dental Therapists to join us. Whether you're looking for full time hours, part time working or term time only working, we'd love to hear from you. We know flexibility matters and we're committed to finding an arrangement that works for you.
This is your opportunity to do more than provide treatment. You'll work directly with children and young people in schools and community settings, delivering preventative, educational and clinical dental care that helps improve oral health, reduce inequalities and create healthier futures. You'll support children to build lifelong healthy habits while helping families access the care they need.
Working alongside school nurses, public health colleagues and a wider multidisciplinary team, you'll play a key role in shaping a new service from the very beginning. From fluoride varnish applications and oral health assessments to supervised toothbrushing programmes and engaging health promotion activities, no two days will be the same.
If you're passionate about prevention, enjoy working with children and want to see the lasting impact of your work across an entire community, this is a role where your skills will genuinely change lives.
Prevent disease. Build confidence. Give children smiles that last a lifetime.
Main duties of the job
Your clinical skills are important, but it's your passion for prevention that will make the biggest difference.
You're someone who believes every child deserves the opportunity to grow up with a healthy smile. You enjoy working with children and families, building trusted relationships and helping people make positive changes that improve their health for years to come. You act with integrity, value others, find practical solutions and take pride in delivering high quality care that makes a real difference.
For this role, essentially you'll need:
A BSc or Diploma in Dental Therapy (or equivalent).
Current General Dental Council (GDC) registration.
A Certificate in Fluoride Varnish Application.
Experience delivering clinical dental therapy services and preventative dental care.
Experience working with children and families.
Knowledge of public health approaches to improving children's oral health.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to engage children, young people and families.
The ability to work independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.
A commitment to safeguarding, equality, diversity and delivering high quality, compassionate care.
Experience delivering supervised toothbrushing programmes, working with children who have additional needs or vulnerabilities, delivering fluoride varnish programmes, or qualifications in oral health education or public health would be advantageous but aren't essential.
About us
Compass is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults. Established for over 30 years, Compass is a national charity which works in communities across the UK providing services spanning substance misuse treatment and rehabilitation, early interventions for vulnerable young people, school-aged health programmes and associated prevention as well as treatment and health promotion initiatives.
All Compass posts are subject to appropriate level DBS checks.
We positively encourage applications from all members of the community, regardless of gender, race, faith, disability, age, or sexual orientation, and encourage applications from people who have experiences in life which enrich skills and empathy. This is part of our commitment to equality and developing a truly inclusive and representative workforce.
We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments individuals may require in the recruitment process, on commencement, or once in post.
Benefits
We offer a range of benefits including:
- 27 days holiday + bank holidays, rising to 32 days over time (pro rata)
- Life assurance at 2 x basic salary
- Competitive contributory pension scheme
- 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme and OH service
- Enhanced sick pay
- Excellent learning & development opportunities and career progression
- Annual salary review
Help us to make a positive change to the lives of children and young people!

Job summary
Welcome to FCMS!
Compass Medical Practice is a GP practice for those who are difficult to manage in mainstream practice. Patients are either consulted via telephone/ video link or face to face. When a face-to-face appointment is required, a risk assessment is undertaken to assess what support the clinician requires. Consultations are supported with the use of patient liaison officers and consultations are carried out in our mobile clinic van or in an agreed prebooked venue.
Compass Medical Practice also provides medical cover to temporary patients residing at Thornton House. These are short term patients that are residing at Thornton house for either rehab, rest or recouperation. There is a weekly ward round and multidisciplinary team meeting. Compass Medical practice also offers medical support throughout the week, outside of the ward round, during opening hours.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for individuals with a passion and enthusiasm to work with some of the most vulnerable and complex people within our community. The right candidate should be approachable and display excellent communication skills, compassion and a non-judgemental attitude. We are looking for an advanced clinical practitioner to join the team who can work autonomously within the special allocation scheme, as well as the wider inclusion health services.

Coupled with excellent and well-established clinical governance systems and extremely effective operational expertise, it has meant that the company has the ability to strategically visualise, develop, and implement award winning services.
Over many years we have invested in our staff so that we have a core team of highly trained individuals who can manage the needs of our patients and callers.

Reference: 2336061
Job summary
Working pattern: Full Time / Part Time / Weekend / Flexible shift patterns available.
You will need to hold a qualification in Medical Ultrasound and must be competent to undertake an Ultrasound scan and report it independently. As a minimum you will be expected to hold a Pg. Cert in Medical Ultrasound that has been accredited by the Consortium for the Accreditation of Sonographic Education (CASE) or assessed for equivalence by the ultrasound management team.
HCPC, NMC or RCT registration is also essential to this post. You will need to have excellent verbal and written communication skills. As a large teaching organisation, we provide teaching experiences for trainee sonographers and specialist registrars.
We work closely with Sheffield Hallam University providing world-class teaching to nurture and develop the next generation of sonographers, many of whom go on to spend their working lives with us.
We are happy to consider applications from trainees nearing the end of their Ultrasound training or from midwife sonographers who are qualified in Ultrasound.
Previous applicants need not apply
Main duties of the job
Our services are expanding; we are actively seeking enthusiastic and highly motivated band 7 sonographers to join our forward-thinking team of friendly and supportive professionals in providing a range of ultrasound examinations.
High specification scanning equipment is available on three acute hospital sites: Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester General Hospital and Glenfield Hospital and five community hospital sites. Our work includes, general abdominal, small parts, gynaecological, MSK, H&N, DVT and vascular, paediatrics and obstetrics (including early pregnancy scanning). We cover inpatients, outpatients and GP referrals. We are one of the largest providers for Ultrasound in the UK with over 30 scan rooms carrying out over 6,000 outpatient scans a month.
The department is committed to supporting your personal development plans. We have Sonographer role development opportunities which currently include DVT, MSK, Head & Neck and paediatric training, with future possibilities of interventional ultrasound.
The successful candidate will be an autonomous practitioner, promoting best practice and high standards within the ultrasound department.
Our patients are at the heart of all we do and we believe that 'Caring at its best' is not just about the treatments and services we provide, but about giving our patients the best possible experience.
Due to the nature of the interview process for this post, we are unable to accommodate remote interviews
About us
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
- high-quality care for all,
- being a great place to work,
- partnerships for impact, and
- research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
- we are compassionate,
- we are proud,
- we are inclusive, and
- we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
