Isle of Wight

An introduction to the Isle of Wight


The Isle of Wight is a unique and stunning location, just off the South Coast of England. You can take a short ferry ride from Portsmouth and Southampton, with journey times as little as 20 minutes. Within Southampton, there is a regional airport, with flights to many European destinations as well as UK mainland cities and you’re just a 90-minute train ride from London.

The Isle of Wight offers visitors and residents an amazing coastline with a range of beautiful countryside, year-round events, festivals, and award-winning attractions.

Our practice


Bupa Dental Care Shanklin


Bupa Dental Care Shanklin is a busy six surgery practice, set just a two-minute walk from the beach. The practice has been renovated, and has a beautiful large, private garden, allowing the team to enjoy breaks outdoors in warmer months.

“The location was a huge deciding factor for me, as it allows beautiful scenery on a lunchtime walk.”

A conversation with Kym


I joined Bupa Dental Care almost two years ago now and haven’t looked back. The location was a huge deciding factor for me, as it allows beautiful scenery on a lunchtime walk. I have worked in the dental industry for 16 years now, having originally started as a trainee dental nurse.

Over the years I have worked in several practices both NHS and Private, and I can quite honestly say I have never met such a wonderful team. The last five months have been an absolute roller-coaster with Covid-19, but the team have stayed focused and patient care has been at the forefront of everything they have done. I couldn’t be prouder.


Why we're different


As the only corporate dental provider in the UK not backed by private equity, we’re in a unique position. We’re committed to the UK dental industry for the long-term – both private and NHS – and are ready to treat not just today’s patients, but generations to come.

Furthermore, Bupa has no shareholders, so we’re able to focus 100% on delivering the best service for customers. We are run commercially to ensure we remain competitive, but we reinvest 100% of our profits to help provide better care for patients across the world.

Why not join us today? You can find our latest vacancies here.
