Job Description

Practice Manager (Full Time) - Greencross Vets Five Dock

Lead with purpose. Build a team people love being part of. Make a real impact every day.

We’re looking for a full-time Practice Manager to lead our team at Greencross Vets Five Dock. This role is ideal for either an experienced Practice Manager or a Senior Veterinary Nurse ready to step into leadership, who is organised, people-focused, and passionate about both patient care and team wellbeing.

You’ll be stepping into one of our larger Sydney clinics, recently refurbished with a modern fit-out and brand-new equipment, supported by a loyal client base and a collaborative, welcoming team.

About the Clinic

At Greencross Five Dock, we’ve built a workplace where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.

• A friendly, close-knit team that supports one another
• Strong focus on high standards of patient care and customer service

We’re looking for a like-minded leader who values teamwork, communication, and delivering excellent care.

Working With Us

Our approach is team-based, supportive, and grounded in respect.

• Clients are supported by a team of vets and nurses, rather than a single point of contact
• Nurses are actively involved in patient care, client communication, and preventative health
• Open communication and feedback are encouraged
• A strong focus on continuous improvement without unnecessary pressure or hierarchy

This is a clinic where your voice is heard, and your leadership will make a genuine difference.

• A lifestyle that blends convenience with a welcoming neighbourhood feel

It’s an ideal location for anyone looking to grow their career while enjoying a connected, community-oriented environment.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing daily clinic operations (rostering, stock, workflow, client records)
• Leading, mentoring, and supporting the team
• Maintaining a positive, productive team culture
• Monitoring performance and supporting clinic growth
• Contributing to local marketing initiatives
• Providing nursing support, training, and development when needed
