If that sounds like you, read on.

What’s in It for You?

Real Authority – Take ownership of operations and make meaningful decisions daily
Autonomy with Support – You’ll have freedom to lead, with mentorship when needed

Growth-Minded Workplace – We’ll challenge and support you to keep getting better

About the Role

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll drive the smooth operation of a busy, modern practice. You’ll oversee the day-to-day flow, lead and support our team, and work closely with the practice owner to maintain high standards across every area of the clinic—from patient experience to infection control to systems and structure.

You’ll be on the ground, not behind a desk.

Your Key Responsibilities:

Oversee scheduling, daily operations, and resourcing to keep the practice running smoothly

Lead team performance—support, mentor, give feedback, and manage expectations

Manage rostering, leave, training, and performance reviews

Drive front-office and phone service excellence, training the team in high-EQ communication

Own infection control oversight and compliance systems

Use software and tech confidently to manage data, bookings, reports, and internal workflows

Bring attention to detail and follow-through that reduces owner rework and improves consistency

We’re Looking for Someone Who:

Has experience managing a team. This can be in healthcare, dental, allied health, retail, or hospitality. Dental experience is not a requirement, as we have a robust system to train and mentor the right person.

Knows how to prioritise, multitask, and keep things moving without reminders

Has strong digital fluency

Leads with a calm, clear presence that inspires trust from both patients and team

Is comfortable giving and receiving feedback, and wants to grow alongside a business

Spots the small things, knows how to improve them, and has the communication skills to bring the team on board

If you’re someone who sees problems early, acts decisively, and lifts standards wherever you go—you’ll love this role.

The Extras

Work with a respected, well-run private practice

Supportive team who loves what they do

Training, systems, and career development pathways

A culture that balances high standards with heart
