The General Dental Council (GDC) is the UK-wide statutory regulator of around 114,000 dental professionals, including over 43,000 dentists and over 70,000 dental care professionals. The GDC’s primary purpose is to protect patient safety and maintain public confidence in dental services. To achieve this it registers qualified professionals, sets and enforces standards of dental practice, investigates fitness to practise complaints, and ensures the quality of dental education.  The environment in which the GDC operates is complex. As a UK-wide regulator, the GDC works across the separate healthcare systems of each of the four nations, all with different challenges and priorities and in an environment where both NHS and private provision is important.

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, this role will bring considerable challenge, opportunity and reward and you will be joining the GDC at an important and exciting time as the organisation and the regulatory environment in which we operate undergoes ongoing transformational change.

Equality, diversity and inclusion are not just words, they are what makes our teams strong and able to deliver. We want to be champions of diversity and to create a sense of belonging in the workplace, where everybody has the chance to contribute and to share what is important to them.
