At Orchard House Dental, we believe a great dental practice is built on great relationships – with our patients, and with each other. We're looking for a Practice Manager to provide maternity cover, someone who's as passionate about people as they are about performance.
This is a fantastic opportunity to take the lead in a friendly, supportive, and patient-focused practice where your leadership will truly make a difference.
What makes you our ideal PM:
· You're a natural people person – approachable, warm, and a great listener.
· You're a motivator and leader who can inspire your team to give their best every day.
· You have experience in managing targets and KPIs – and know how to achieve them while keeping morale high.
· You're organised, detail-focused, and understand the ins and outs of practice management (NHS and private).
· You care about compliance, high standards, and making sure the practice runs smoothly for both patients and staff.
Your role will include:
· Leading, developing, and supporting the practice team
· Creating a positive, inclusive, and high-performing culture
· Managing performance to achieve targets and deliver excellent patient care
· Overseeing daily operations, compliance, and patient satisfaction
· Supporting recruitment, onboarding, and training of team members
· Keeping an eye on budgets, reporting, and business performance
Why join us? We're a close-knit, professional team with a welcoming atmosphere and a loyal patient base. At Orchard House Dental, you won't just be "managing a practice" – you'll be part of a team that values kindness, professionalism, and going the extra mile.
