Dental Practice Manager | Step Into Real Leadership

$80,000–$95,000 + Super | South-West Sydney | Full-time You've managed the diary. You've solved the daily problems. Now you're ready for a role where your ideas, leadership and experience will genuinely matter. Attention To Dental is recruiting confidentially for a growing, privately owned dental practice in South-West Sydney—and this is far more than a traditional Practice Manager position. The owner is looking for someone who can become a trusted extension of the practice leadership: someone who understands people, sees opportunities for improvement and can confidently take ownership of the day-to-day operation. Over the past year, the practice has expanded its clinical and support teams, with further growth planned. The foundations are already in place. What the practice needs now is the right leader to bring everything together, strengthen the systems and help shape what comes next. If you have ever wanted the opportunity to influence how a dental practice operates and grows, this could be the role you have been waiting for. What makes this prospect different?

At least two years of relevant experience

Dental Practice Management or senior dental leadership experience

Previous experience within an Australian dental practice

Confidence working with budgets, KPIs and practice performance

Excellent organisation and attention to detail

The ability to manage competing priorities in a busy environment

The practice

This is an established, privately owned, three‑chair dental practice with a growing clinical and support team. The team currently includes four dentists, Oral Health Therapist/Hygienist support, Dental Assistants, reception and Treatment Coordination. The practice manages a busy schedule that includes larger and more complex cases, so communication, organisation and strong leadership are important. While the environment is busy, the team genuinely looks after one another. The owner is not looking for someone who leads from above—they want a Practice Manager who will work alongside the team, understand the pressures of the day and bring out the best in the people around them. The practice invests in its team through professional development, training, team activities, shared goals and celebrating achievements together. Hours
