DCT national recruitment 2025

Recruitment to Dental Core Training (DCT) posts in the UK is via a national selection process, currently led by Health Education England (HEE). Most DCT posts in Wales are now processed via national recruitment, with exception to only a small number of posts which are appointed to via local recruitment (NHS Jobs).

Applications and offers via national recruitment will be made through Oriel, the national recruitment system. The system enables the national coordination of the application and offer processes and allows applicants to accept only one post.

Applications for DCT Recruitment 2025 will open on 9 January 2025 and close on 30 January 2025. For more information on DCT National Recruitment for 2025 please see the national recruitment website. To view the national recruitment 2025 timeline please click here: Dental Core Training (DCT) | dental.hee.nhs.uk
