You'll focus on policy areas like public spending on dentistry, the business of dentistry, small business economics, dentists' pay, workforce economics and the dental labour market.

The post is largely home based with regular travel to our office in London. Occasionally travel across the UK may also be required.

About You:

You'll have experience of undertaking economic analysis, modelling and costings, and of managing and analysing datasets. You'll have completed an undergraduate degree in economics or a related field, or have demonstrable equivalent professional experience.
