About the role

78MPR is looking for an experienced, highly organised and proactive Dental Practice Manager to join our friendly team in the heart of Tunbridge Wells.

We are a small dental practice with a strong team ethos. We value each member of our team, encourage continuing professional development and believe in creating a supportive working environment where everyone can contribute to the practice’s ongoing success.

The role combines day-to-day practice management, compliance, team leadership and support, specialist patient coordination, facilities management, administration and reception, finance and social media - so no two days are quite the same.

Why join 78MPR?
