About Me

Recruiting self employed Dentists, Hygienists and Therapists across South East England

Resourcing Specialist at Bupa Dental Care. Focused on supporting our in house resourcing and operations teams to successfully identify and engage with future talent, specifically clinicians, for our 400+ dental practices across the UK & Ireland.

As the only corporate dental provider in the UK not backed by private equity, we’re in a unique position. We’re committed to the UK dental industry for the long-term – both private and NHS – and are ready to treat not just today’s patients, but generations to come.

Furthermore, as a limited liability company Bupa has no shareholders, so we’re able to focus 100% on delivering a great service for our customers. We are run commercially to ensure we remain competitive, but Bupa reinvests 100% of its profits to help provide better care for patients across the world.
