The General Dental Council (GDC) currently have an exciting opportunity for a Caseworker to join the Fitness to Practice's (FTP) Rule 4 Team.

The Rule 4 Team is responsible for preparing evidence bundles for fitness to practise cases which have been referred for case examiners to consider.

This gives the registrant an opportunity to provide their formal observations before an allegation of impaired fitness to practise is considered by the case examiners, as well as allowing the informant to provide any additional comments in relation to the allegations.

The team deals with various stakeholders including defence unions and the GDC's in-house legal team and therefore excellent oral and written communication skills are essential in this role.

The work requires a high amount of attention detail whilst producing the evidence bundles for disclosure, including careful consideration to ensure all documents have been appropriately included and necessary redactions have been applied.
