Company Description
Ready to take the lead at a specialist orthodontic practice where your leadership makes a real impact? Join the team at Hodgson and Muir Orthodontics – part of New Zealand’s largest dental network, Lumino The Dentists.

As part of the Lumino network, we’re proud to offer the support and stability of a nationwide organisation while staying true to our strong local roots and collaborative team culture.
Job Description
HOW YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT
We’re looking for a people-focused, organised, and proactive Practice Manager to lead our busy and rapidly growing orthodontic practice. You’ll oversee the day-to-day operations of the practice, support a high-performing team of clinicians and support staff, and help ensure every patient enjoys a smooth, professional experience from the moment they walk through the door.
In addition to your leadership responsibilities, this role includes hands-on involvement at the front desk. You’ll play an active part in managing reception tasks such as greeting patients, booking appointments, handling enquiries, and supporting the patient journey. Your presence at the front desk will set the tone for a welcoming and efficient environment, while your leadership behind the scenes will help keep the entire practice running smoothly.
This is a well-established practice with a loyal patient base and a collaborative team. You’ll work closely with clinicians and Lumino’s regional support to ensure operational excellence, a strong team culture, and ongoing growth.
Hours: Monday to Thursday , 8:00am – 5:30pm (1hr lunch)
No evenings or weekends required.
Qualifications
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We’re seeking someone with demonstrated leadership experience—ideally in a dental, medical, or healthcare environment. You’ll bring excellent communication and interpersonal skills, along with the ability to guide a team, give and receive feedback, and adapt to changing priorities.
You’re someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and knows how to manage multiple tasks at once. Experience with budgets, sales targets, and financial reporting (such as P&L statements) is an advantage, as is confidence with technology and a willingness to learn new systems.
If you’re a strong organiser, a people leader, and passionate about providing exceptional service, we’d love to hear from you.
