Job description
Job responsibilities
Please read the attached Job Description and Person Specification for full details of the role before applying.
This post is not an Advanced Practice role that is

near future. This is because these roles do not require candidates to work
across all 4 pillars of Advanced Practice to MSc level and are therefore banded

level in the Advanced Practice Clinical Pillar. This role will not be eligible
for training funding for an MSc in Advanced Practice however training may be
supported depending on individual learning
needs identified following Sirona CPD funding application processes.
