We have an exciting opportunity within the departments of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Restorative Dentistry, and Orthodontics. The team treats a diverse range of patients referred from multiple specialties, designing, manufacturing, and fitting custom-made maxillofacial prostheses in our dedicated patient clinics.
The successful applicant will be competent in all areas of Maxillofacial Prosthetics and possess knowledge of Restorative and Orthodontic appliances. The ability to work autonomously to provide a high level of service to our patients and service users is required.
Applicants should provide evidence of experience in the custom manufacture of facial prostheses and the ability to undertake complex orthognathic surgical planning. Previous experience and understanding of 3D surgical planning of head and neck reconstruction and 3D orthognathic surgical planning are desirable.
The OMFS Department manages a wide variety of pathology ranging from general OMFS issues to complex problems, for which we offer many dedicated specialist clinics. Our Head and Neck service is run in close association with the ENT and plastic surgery teams, and we have a complete Head and Neck MDT that runs jointly with the Exeter team to discuss all new patients. Major head and neck surgery is provided by the Torbay team but performed in Exeter, and patients are then transferred back to Torbay for ongoing care and surveillance.
