Associate Dentist (Private & Mixed) – High Earnings, Autonomy & Support – O’Farrell Staunton, Newry

Start: January 2026 (12-month maternity cover, with a genuine option to stay on permanently)
Hours: Full- or part-time (minimum 2 days)

Are you a motivated Associate Dentist who wants excellent earning potential, clinical freedom, and the chance to work in a practice that genuinely invests in you?

We’re looking for a colleague to join us for a 12-month maternity cover, with the option to take on a long-term position if it’s the right fit.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

✔ Strong Private Potential, with clear, realistic earning opportunities

Our associates benefit from established, high-value private demand, driven by active digital marketing and a loyal patient base.
 

✔ Full Clinical Autonomy

You choose the materials, labs, and treatment approach that work best for your patients.

✔ Modern Digital Practice

6 surgeries | Trios 3 scanner | OPG | digital workflow throughout | fully computerised | supportive TCO structure.

✔ Mentorship & Specialist Support

If you want to develop your skills in implants, short-term ortho, oral surgery or aesthetic dentistry, our specialist team is here to support and collaborate, not compete.

✔ Protected Time & Strong Clinical Support

Clinical diaries designed to avoid burnout

Excellent nursing ratio

TCO support for private treatment planning

Qualified, experienced Practice Manager

Why Dentists Love Working Here

• Consistent patient flow with minimal gaps
• Excellent UDA rates and a sustainable NHS component
• Low staff turnover and a genuinely friendly, stable team
• A practice that invests in technology and CPD
• Option to stay on permanently if you love it here (most do!)

Why Newry Works

Perfectly positioned between Belfast and Dublin, Newry gives you:

• Lower cost of living with easy access to both cities
• Beautiful outdoor spaces (Mourne Mountains, Carlingford Lough)
• Great food, culture, and a welcoming community
• A great place to settle or commute from

Who We’re Looking For

• GDC-registered Associate Dentist
• Confident with Mixed dentistry
• Interest in restorative, aesthetic, or short-term ortho is a bonus
• A clinician who values teamwork, excellence, and patient-centred care
