Lead Two Practices. Inspire Two Teams. Make a Difference.

At Smile, we believe in looking after our people as well as our patients. You'll be joining a growing organisation where your contribution will be valued and where you will have the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership and gain broad experience across the business.

If you are an organised, ambitious Practice Manager who enjoys being hands-on, leading teams and driving the success of their practices, this is a fantastic opportunity for you.

About The Role

As Dual Site Practice Manager, you will have overall responsibility for the day-to-day operational and commercial performance of both practices.

Working closely with our Central Operations and clinical leadership teams, you will ensure that both sites are well organised, well supported and operating to the highest standards.

You will divide your time between Poole and Boscombe, providing visible leadership and creating a positive, high-performing environment across both teams.

Your Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage the day-to-day operations of both practices
  • Inspire, support and develop your teams to achieve their full potential
  • Work closely with dentists, nurses and other clinical colleagues
  • Take responsibility for practice performance and agreed business targets
  • Monitor and manage practice KPIs and financial performance
  • Support patient growth, retention and practice development
  • Ensure an outstanding patient journey and consistently high standards of customer service
  • Manage recruitment, onboarding, training and development of practice colleagues
  • Conduct regular team meetings and one-to-ones
  • Manage rotas, staffing levels and resource requirements
  • Ensure both practices remain compliant with all relevant regulatory and company requirements
  • Work closely with the clinical team to support excellent clinical governance
  • Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, performance and patient experience
  • Manage budgets and control costs effectively
  • Deal confidently and professionally with patient feedback and complaints
  • Work collaboratively with the wider Smile Dental Care management team
  • Ensure the Smile values and culture are embedded across both practices

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
