Dental Practice Manager

Dental Practice Manager | Oakmead Dental Care Chislehurst | Chislehurst, Kent

Lead a successful dental practice with a fantastic team, a strong private patient base and the opportunity to build on something special.

At Oakmead Dental Care, you'll take the lead of an established five-surgery practice with a fully recruited team, a strong clinical offering and a track record of excellent performance.

This is an opportunity to step into a successful environment, make your mark and help shape the practice's next chapter, with the support and backing of Envisage Dental.

An already successful practice

Oakmead has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and a team that genuinely enjoys working together. With 11 clinicians, three hygienists and a dedicated support team, the practice offers a broad range of treatments, including a growing specialist offering.

The practice is performing strongly, running ahead of budget and continuing to grow its private revenue. With an established reputation and a fantastic team already in place, you'll have the foundations to build on rather than starting from scratch.

The opportunity

This is a hands‑on leadership role where you'll oversee the day‑to‑day running of the practice, support your team and drive continued success.

You'll focus on:

• Leading and developing your team: Build on the existing positive culture, support colleagues and create an environment where everyone can thrive.
• Driving business performance: Maintain strong financial results, manage costs and identify opportunities to grow private revenue.
• Delivering exceptional patient care: Maintain high standards of patient experience while ensuring the practice operates effectively.
• Building local relationships: Continue developing marketing initiatives, school partnerships and community events to strengthen the practice's local presence.
• Maintaining high standards: Oversee compliance, operational processes and regulatory responsibilities as the CQC registered manager.

You'll have the opportunity to get to know the team, understand what works well and build on the success already achieved, with the autonomy to lead and make a difference.

You'll also benefit from a dedicated handover, introductions to our wider Envisage Dental hub teams and the opportunity to shadow another clinic if helpful. A dedicated buddy will also be on hand to support you as you settle in.

What you'll receive as Dental Practice Manager with Envisage

• Full-time, permanent position, working 36-40 hours per week
• Competitive salary
• Annual Performance-related bonus
• Flexibility to agree working hours around the needs of the practice
• Opportunity to work from home a couple of times per month, where appropriate
• Dedicated handover and buddy support
• Introductions to the wider Envisage Dental team and hub departments
• On-site parking, plus additional free roadside parking subject to availability
• Company Events
• Internal Management Development programmes

What you'll bring

We're looking for an experienced dental practice manager who knows how to bring out the best in a team while maintaining excellent operational and financial performance.

You'll be a confident, approachable leader who enjoys developing people, building relationships and creating a positive working environment.

You'll understand how to balance commercial objectives with exceptional patient care, manage costs effectively and identify opportunities for sustainable growth.

Just as importantly, you'll recognise the value of an established team. You'll take the time to listen, build trust and understand the existing culture before making changes.

You'll also be comfortable taking responsibility for CQC registration, regulatory compliance and maintaining high standards across the practice.
