Practice Manager | Build Something Better
You're not looking for another Practice Manager role.
You're looking for a practice where your ideas are welcomed, your leadership is valued, and you're trusted to make a difference.
If you've ever found yourself thinking:
"I could improve this process..."
"There has to be a better way to do this..."
"I wish management would actually listen..."
...then keep reading.
Attention To Dental is proud to be recruiting on behalf of a highly respected, privately owned dental practice in Adelaide's western suburbs.
This is an opportunity to step into a well-established practice where the owners genuinely value their team, support professional growth, and believe that happy staff create exceptional patient experiences.
Why Consider Leaving Your Current Role?
Because this isn't a role where you'll simply keep the wheels turning.
This is a role where you'll be encouraged to:
- Lead with empathy and influence
- Improve systems and processes
- Help shape team culture
- Drive operational efficiency
- Contribute ideas that are actually implemented
- Be part of a practice that prioritises people over corporate KPIs
You'll be joining a supportive and collaborative team where everyone helps each other—from the dentists through to the support staff. No egos. No "that's not my job" mentality.
What You'll Be Doing
As Practice Manager, you'll be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the practice while ensuring an exceptional experience for both patients and team members.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Team leadership and staff support
- Rostering and workforce coordination
- Patient journey and service excellence
- Treatment plan and patient finance discussions
- Recall and appointment management
- Accounts processing and daily banking
- Reporting and operational oversight
- Process improvement and implementation
- Supporting a positive, engaged workplace culture
This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll be visible, approachable and actively involved in the success of the practice.
Who We're Looking For
We're seeking an experienced dental professional with strong leadership capability and a genuine passion for people.
You'll likely bring:
- Minimum 5 years' Australian dental experience
- Previous Practice Manager, Senior Reception, Treatment Coordinator or leadership experience
- Strong organisational and communication skills
- Confidence managing multiple priorities
- A calm, solutions-focused approach
- The ability to build trust with patients and team members alike
Most importantly, you'll be someone who:
- Takes ownership
- Leads with empathy
- Communicates openly
- Sees opportunities for improvement
- Values teamwork over ego
What's On Offer?
- Full-time permanent position
- Attractive remuneration of approximately $40–$45 per hour + super (dependent on experience)
- Structured onboarding and ongoing support
- Professional development opportunities
- Supportive, owner-operated practice
- Stable team with excellent staff retention
- Genuine work-life balance
- Long-term career opportunity
