Finding a job in UK dentistry before GDC registration

Finding a job in UK dentistry before full GDC registration can be a challenging process; there are limitations but also opportunities for overseas dentists.

Temporary registration jobs

Finding a job in UK dentistry under temporary registration requires careful planning. Temporary registration roles may include hospital Dental Core Training (DCT) positions, specialist training posts, lecturing, or research roles. These positions are not usually reserved for temporary registration candidates, and competition can be high. Additionally, temporary registration requires specific supervisory arrangements, so employers, typically NHS Trusts, must be willing to support applicants under these conditions.
