Practice Manager | People, Operations & Practice Leadership
Dentessence is an established and growing dental practice that has been part of the Diamond Creek community since ****. We have a strong patient base, an experienced clinical team and a practice that has continued to evolve over many years.
As our long-standing Practice Manager prepares to retire, we're looking for the right person to step into this key leadership role. You'll initially work part-time alongside our current Practice Manager, allowing for a supported handover and transition to full-time.
We're looking for someone who understands that great practice management sits at the intersection of
people, patient experience, systems and business performance
.
You'll work closely with the practice owners, but you'll also have the autonomy and trust to lead the team and manage the practice effectively.

.
You'll work closely with the practice owners, but you'll also have the autonomy and trust to lead the team and manage the practice effectively.
The role
You'll take responsibility for the operational and people management of the practice, including:
Managing a positive, professional and high-performing workplace culture
Supporting an excellent patient experience from first contact through to ongoing care




Working closely with our dentists and clinical team to help their days run efficiently
Leading, supporting and holding the team accountable
Overseeing recruitment, onboarding, performance management and staff development
Managing rosters, workflows and day-to-day practice operations
Maintaining strong systems, policies and compliance
Monitoring practice performance and identifying opportunities for improvement
Helping implement new ideas and improvements rather than allowing them to sit on a to-do list
Working alongside the owners on the continued development of the practice
Who we're looking for
We're looking for someone who is confident enough to lead, organised enough to stay across the detail and practical enough to get things done.
Ideally you'll have previous experience managing a dental practice and understand the realities of leading a busy team.
What matters to us is that you're proactive, dependable, comfortable having difficult conversations when necessary, and genuinely take ownership of your role.
You should be someone who sees a problem and thinks,
"How can we fix this?"
rather than waiting for someone else to solve it.
Why Dentessence?
Dentessence has been caring for the Diamond Creek community since ****. We provide comprehensive dentistry, from children's and preventive care through to Invisalign®, dental implants and complex restorative treatment.
We have invested heavily in our people, technology and facilities, and we're proud of the practice we've built.
For the right Practice Manager, this is an opportunity to step into an established business with strong foundations and have a meaningful influence over how it operates and develops.
We're looking for someone who wants to become an important part of the practice — not simply manage today's diary, but help us build an even better practice for the years ahead.
If you're looking for a leadership role where your impact will genuinely matter, we'd love to hear from you.
