Head of Recruitment for YDS Group - Yorkshire Dental Suite & Smile White
We're YDS Group - one of the UK's most innovative and fast-growing private dental brands, known for our award-winning patient care, premium aesthetic treatments and strong digital presence.
Alongside our clinical growth, we've developed SmileWhite - a high performing direct-to-consumer (DTC) teeth whitening brand that's scaling rapidly across the UK and internationally. Together, these two arms form a unique, vertically integrated business with significant revenues, high growth momentum, and a clear path to becoming the market leader in both digital oral care & premium dentistry.
This is a rare opportunity to join a founder-led company at the inflection point of serious scale - across physical locations, product and international markets.
About the role
As CFO, you'll be a strategic leader, a hands-on operator, and a key partner to the founders. You'll bring commercial finance expertise, operational rigour, and strategic insight to support growth across both Yorkshire Dental Suite & SmileWhite. You'll work across physical and digital models, helping shape the future of multi-channel, high-impact business.
