Dental Technician

We are a world class research-intensive university. We deliver teaching and learning of the highest quality. We play a leading role in economic, social and cultural development of the North East of England. Attracting and retaining high-calibre people is fundamental to our continued success.

The Role
You will support Lecturers in Dental Technology and Clinical academic staff in delivering teaching and training within the School of Dental Sciences. They will primarily be responsible for developing and fabricating teaching resources for the Bachelor of Dental Sciences programme. Additionally, they will support teaching by supervising and assisting undergraduate and postgraduate students in technical skills across our BDS, BSc and MClinDent programmes.

You will need to demonstrate a high level of manual dexterity and a working knowledge of technical procedures relevant to fixed and removable prosthodontics. Knowledge and experience of digital technologies would be advantageous, as CAD/CAM techniques are being incorporated into our workflows. They should have experience working effectively with a range of dental materials, possess effective communication skills, and have a proficient understanding of laboratory health and safety.
