Lead, grow and make a difference. We’re looking for an experienced Practice Manager to drive the day-to-day business and future growth of our medical centre - Four Kauri Family Medical Centre. You’ll work closely with the practice owners, clinical and administrative team, overseeing finance, people, operations, systems, compliance and business development.

This is a key leadership role overseeing the business with key responsibilities for:

• Lead the strategic direction, business development and growth of the practice
• Oversee financial management, budgeting, cash flow, reporting and funding opportunities
• Manage practice operations, premises, equipment, IT and resources

• Maintain strong relationships with practice owners, staff, patients, suppliers and external stakeholders
• Provide professional, approachable leadership and support the ongoing reputation and development of the practice

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is proactive, organised and confident, but also genuinely cares about people. Someone who can lead with kindness, common sense and a good sense of humour, and who enjoys being part of a team.

You’ll bring:

• Previous experience in practice management, healthcare management or a similar senior management role
• A strong understanding of primary healthcare, funding and compliance
• Strong organisational, problem-solving and decision-making skills
• A genuine passion for healthcare and making a difference in our community
• A practical, hands-on approach and the confidence to identify opportunities and make things happen
• The ability to look after and treasure the team, making sure people feel valued, supported and appreciated
• An understanding of the hard work and pressures our GPs, nurses and reception team face every day
• A natural ability to keep morale up, bring some fun and laughter to a busy environment, and know when someone needs a bit of extra support

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who cares about the people behind the job and wants to help make Four Kauri a place where both our patients and our team feel well looked after.

Why Join Us

You’ll be joining a friendly, caring team that genuinely looks out for one another. We’re a close-knit bunch who treat each other like family, with a great sense of humour and always someone there to lend a hand.

We love celebrating each other’s successes, and there’s almost always an excuse for a shared lunch, birthday cake or something sweet! You’ll be supported by approachable directors and work alongside passionate GPs, nurses and reception staff who care about our patients, support each other, and don’t take ourselves too seriously.

If you’re looking for a workplace where you’ll feel valued, supported and part of the team, we’d love to hear from you.
