Filling In discusses how the new community dentistry team will benefit dental nurses, dentists, dentists and dentists.
Fill offers a completely free opportunity for dentists looking for flexible, convenient and fulfilling patterns in their professional lives, making it quick and easy to find dental practices that need coverage – both urgent and non-urgent.
The personalised, tailored and unique website enables locums to control and manage their dental compliance including certificates, CPD and vaccination records. The service also features prompts for renewal dates and updates.
Site management
As dental professionals, we all have career aspirations and goals – Supplementing can help Locus find, pursue, and achieve them. Whether you are a dentist looking for more flexible hours to further study, balance family life or become involved in specific areas of the profession (eg implant dentistry), or a dentist looking to dedicate part of their work to private dentistry, Filling In can to meet these requirements.
The team allows loci to choose their working location, days, hours and rate of pay, as well as the type of role they are looking for – whether it’s an NHS or private role, or sub-dental sector (e.g. e.g. orthodontics, oral surgery, endodontics, etc.).
Locums do not have to sacrifice time in the work week to take on further work. Weekend and evening availability will be an option that can be browsed when locums are looking for a role that suits them.
Filling in the numbers
Prospective dental locums are also financially rewarded as the site uses a smart algorithm. This produces either an hourly rate (dentists, dental therapists and dental hygienists) or a daily rate (dentists). The algorithm has a basic starting salary, which will increase with additional skills, experience and availability. Within 48 hours the details below are instantly refined and the site collects payment details for an automated transaction.
- Dental nurses – from £16 per hour
- Dentists and hygienists – from £34 an hour
- Dentists – from £660 per day.
These numbers are further strengthened according to the input of the above further information (experience, skills and availability) and calculated by our intelligent algorithm in a hassle-free method through our website. This will also assess work pattern times (ie increased rates for evening and weekend dental work), experience in dentistry and the skill level of the location.
Location, location, location
Having both worked in infection dentistry in the past, the Filling In co-founders recognized the challenge in discovering opportunities in a convenient location. Having the opportunity to browse the availability of dental site vacancies within a radius based on kilometers opens up options for dental professionals to use Filling In as a browsing platform as well.
They can spot opportunities in towns and villages throughout the territory who may have previously been excluded or hidden under opportunities in larger cities or larger dental offices/dental companies.
The long term prognosis in Filling In
Filling-In provides locums with the opportunity to accrue loyalty benefits. A variety of bonuses include being ranked higher when prospective employers search our database, reward vouchers (eg Amazon) and improved pay as additional shifts are accumulated and successfully completed. This works alongside a membership performance reward program as well. These loyalty benefits will accrue and grow alongside the locum.
Also, the team does not discourage locums from accepting a permanent role that a dental practice can offer them – quite the opposite, in fact. One of the main motivations for the co-founders of Filling In is to help the recruitment needs of dental practices but also to enable and empower locums to find a position they are happy and feel safe in. In this case, the group welcomes a permanent contract between the parties.
Summary
Filling In provides the entire dental community with the option to develop or enhance their existing income or to be able to build a career as a dental placer or even find a permanent position that may or may not have been desired in the first place.
The smart algorithm attached to the sites allows dental professionals to achieve higher – optimizing professional skills and personal characteristics to enhance income. This will be based on availability, experience and skills.
The site enables the ability to search, browse and secure local roles/shifts nationwide with dynamic ease and simplicity. It eliminates the hassle of waiting for communication from a third party or delegating this responsibility to someone else.
The ability to enter their official documentation into a system that will prompt local stations to update or add CPD, documentation and certificates when needed.
Reward programs are tied to loyalty and participation, and Fulfillment actively encourages discussions between parties about choosing a permanent role.
