Description:
Full-time GDC registered Practice Manager required in a modern, independently owned practice in Spalding, Lincolnshire.
SALARY £39K TO £44K PLUS 2% OF PRIVATE INCOME ACHIEVED
The practice is seeking a sophisticated, GDC-registered Dental Practice Manager. This executive leadership role is designed for a professional who can balance the high-level compliance and UDA requirements of a busy 4-surgery mixed practice with the financial and operational precision required for the high-end private market.
You will be the Principal’s key strategic partner, responsible for operational excellence, clinical compliance, and the proactive growth of the practice.
Leadership Personality & Character
We are looking for a specific type of leader. The successful candidate will possess:
• Command Presence: You lead by example and have the "gravitas" to manage diverse personalities, ensuring a harmonious and focused environment.
• Unshakeable Integrity: You will be trusted with sensitive financial and strategic data. High ethical standards and discretion are non-negotiable.
• Emotional Intelligence: You are a "people person" who can de-escalate patient concerns and motivate staff with a calm, supportive approach.
• Problem-Solving Ownership: You don't just identify problems; you bring solutions. You have a "can-do" attitude and the resilience to stay calm under pressure.
Key Responsibilities
• CQC Compliance & Clinical Leadership: Take full ownership of the practice's CQC registered status. Lead clinical audits and ensure the practice is "inspection-ready" at all times.
• UDA & KPI Performance Management: Meticulously track UDA delivery and clinician performance. Use data-driven KPIs to optimize surgery utilization and identify opportunities for private revenue growth.
• Financial Oversight & Bookkeeping: Manage the practice’s financial health via QuickBooks. Handle supplier invoices, monthly reports, and banking/streamline statements.
• Marketing & Brand Growth: Develop internal and external marketing strategies to expand private offerings and enhance our digital reputation.
• Proactive Stock Control: Implement a rigorous inventory management system to ensure zero clinical downtime while staying within monthly budgets.
• Complex Rota Management: Full responsibility for clinical and non-clinical rotas, maximizing chair-time efficiency.
• Treatment Coordination (TCO): Lead the patient journey and manage the commitment to high-value private cases with a concierge-level touch.
Requirements (Essential)
• GDC Registration: A deep clinical background is mandatory for this leadership position.
• Management Qualification: A full qualification (Level 4/5 or equivalent) OR currently working towards one.
• Business & Financial Acumen: Experience managing UDA contracts, private KPIs, and bookkeeping (ideally QuickBooks).
What We Offer
• Competitive Salary: Highly negotiable based on your credentials.
• Performance Bonus Scheme: A rewarding bonus structure based on achieving key practice growth and performance targets.
• Professional Autonomy: The trust to implement your own financial, marketing, and compliance systems.
• Development & Funding: We fully support training by providing free CPD access and funding/grants for advanced courses.
