Role Purpose:
We are seeking an experienced and empathetic Dentolegal Adviser to join our expanding team on a part-time, permanent basis. This role will focus on pre-claim Dentolegal support, providing timely, practical guidance to dental professionals when they need it most.
You will support clients with early-stage matters, including responding to patient complaints, risk mitigation, and professional decision-making, helping to resolve concerns at the earliest possible stage and reduce the likelihood of escalation into claims or regulatory action.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly respected, expanding Dentolegal team, with access to peer support, mentorship, and structured training from some of the most experienced and well-known Dentolegal advisers in the UK.
Key Responsibilities
Client Advice & Support:
- Provide clear, pragmatic Dentolegal advice to dental professionals on pre-policy matters, with a focus on:
- Patient complaints and complaint response drafting
- Consent, record-keeping, and communication issues
- Professional conduct and ethical decision-making
- Support clients in managing risk proactively, helping them understand how to avoid escalation and medico-legal exposure.
- Deliver advice that is legally robust, proportionate, and aligned with current professional standards.
