Build a High-Performing Practice. Lead Change. Deliver Results.

Clarinda Clinic has built a strong reputation for exceptional patient care and is entering an exciting new phase of growth.

We are looking for an experienced Practice Manager who wants more than simply running a practice. We're looking for someone who wants to build a business.

This is an opportunity to lead a high-performing team, optimise operations, improve systems, drive accountability and influence the future direction of a growing dental practice.

This isnot an administration role.

This isnot a coordinator role.

This is a genuine leadership opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, improving performance, making decisions and creating lasting results.

If you're energised by challenges, motivated by achieving measurable outcomes and take pride in building high-performing teams, we'd love to meet you.

The Opportunity

Working alongside the practice owners, you will become the operational leader of the business.

You'll have genuine authority to make decisions, improve systems, lead people and influence business performance. Your ideas won't sit in a suggestion box—they'll be implemented.

You'll inherit a business with strong foundations and significant potential. Your role is to identify opportunities, remove inefficiencies, strengthen accountability and help build one of the leading dental practices in the region.

This role is about creating a business that continually improves—not simply maintaining the status quo.
