Dental Practice Manager (South Africa-Based | Managing 3 UK Practices)

Location: South Africa (Remote / Hybrid)

Type: Full-Time | Permanent

Salary: Competitive (ZAR 400,000 – 500,000 p.a. depending on experience)

Reporting to: Directors, UK Dental Group

This is a unique cross-border leadership role offering the best of both worlds — the opportunity to work remotely from South Africa while managing and influencing operations.

The ideal candidate will be a proactive, commercially minded professional with a proven track record in healthcare operations or multi-site management, capable of driving performance, patient satisfaction, and profitability.

Key Responsibilities 

• Oversee and optimise the daily operations of three UK-based dental practices, ensuring smooth coordination between reception, clinical, and nursing teams.

• Drive efficiency, compliance, and profitability across all sites, working closely with UK-based leads and directors.

• Implement performance dashboards and monthly KPIs (revenue, UDAs, private treatment growth, patient feedback, chair utilisation, etc.).

• Manage staff scheduling, HR processes, and support recruitment and training (via local practice managers and head nurses).

• Support marketing, digital presence, and patient experience initiatives to grow both NHS and private revenue.

• Monitor financial performance, budgets, and supplier contracts, identifying opportunities to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

• Maintain compliance with CQC, NHS, and GDC regulations, ensuring audit readiness across all sites.

• Liaise directly with the UK Directors and Accountants to support reporting, payroll, and practice planning.
