Job description
We are delighted to announce a new vacancy for a Principal Dentist / PCL to join the team at our highly established and well respected Rainham Dental & Implant Clinic in Rainham
Our practice has a fantastic team of clinicians and support colleagues providing high quality general dentistry to a loyal, long established patient base both private and NHS.
- Mondays, Tuesdays - 9:00am - 5:20pm, Fridays - 8:15am - 4:40pm and one Wednesday a month
- Employed Clinical Lead Role
- Surgery space on across the week with flexibility on days & hours for your self-employed clinical role and space to work on the business in the PCL role.
- Excellent earning potential in both roles
- Full Clinical Freedom
- Patient care and the patient experience is our top priority, the team work together to offer a holistic approach
- We are proud of our consistently high NPS scores
- A busy practice with high local demand
- Excellent opportunity to take on a Clinical Lead role within the practice
Our vision for each practice is for it to be led in partnership by two critical roles:
- A high performing Practice Manager (PM) who focuses on financial, operational and people leadership and
- A Practice Clinical Lead (PCL) who focuses on the clinical leadership of the practice, how clinical factors directly impact the performance and direction of the practice and who works with the Practice Manager.
We recently introduced the Practice Clinical Lead role into a number of our practices, to help us emulate the leadership that is lost when former practice owners either leave their practices or look to focus on wider interests. We’ve seen some impressive results from our first 35 PCLs, many of whom feel they have embarked on a whole new dentistry adventure through this opportunity. Consequently, we are now recruiting new Practice Clinical Leads to help us achieve this same success across more of our practices.
The Practice Manager and Practice Clinical Lead work together as the practice leadership team to lead the practice and make it as efficient and successful as possible, while being a great place for colleagues to work and clinicians to practice and deliver high levels of clinical care.
This really is a unique opportunity to gain exposure to the commercial and leadership aspects of an ambitious and high growth business, in an environment that will provide you with the support and development you need in order to achieve your potential.
Your key, high-level responsibilities as PCL will be to:
- Act as a clinical leadership figure in the practice alongside the Practice Manager, with the ability to influence the direction of the practice.
- Provide clinical focus and maintaining clinical standards.
- With our support, define the practice ambition and strategy.
- Mentor others and give them a clinical voice.
- Act as a cultural ambassador for the Portman Group as well as the practice.
- Provide a positive influence to all practice colleagues to support engagement.
We’d love to hear from you if you…
- Are a practising clinician with broad clinical experience, looking for an additional challenge and adventure in dentistry.
- Have a keen interest in the commercial and leadership side of dentistry and want to learn more in a supportive environment.
- Are excited by and want to positively influence and provide leadership.
- Are looking to further develop your career.
- Are a good relationship builder and collaborator, with a rational and balanced approach.
- Have the ability to navigate relationships and gain the respect of peers.
- Are credible, respected and hold yourself to high ethical standards.
- An opportunity to gain exposure to the commercial and leadership aspects of dentistry with support and development to help you realise your potential.
- Experience of working for a small part of your week in a employed role for a leading dental provider. This role will be distinct and separate from any Associate Dentist Agreement.
- A guaranteed monthly salary for the duties carried out as Practice Clinical Lead.
- And be rewarded with a share of the practice profit with no personal investment required.
