Job description

Practice Manager (Full-Time) | Greencross Wetherill Park | Sydney, NSW

Build a Team People Love Being Part Of

Greencross Wetherill Park has an exciting opportunity for someone ready to take the next step in their veterinary nursing career.

Have you ever pictured yourself in a leadership role? Not just managing a team, but genuinely influencing the people around you. Supporting nurses through challenges, celebrating their successes, helping new team members find their confidence, and creating a workplace where people feel valued, connected, and excited to come to work.

We're looking for an experienced veterinary nurse leader who wants to make a lasting impact, not only on patients and clients, but on the people they work alongside every day.

This opportunity is ideal for an experienced Practice Manager, Head Nurse, or Senior Veterinary Nurse looking to step into a hands‑on leadership role where you'll have the opportunity to shape culture, develop people, and help drive the future success of the clinic.

Why This Role is Different

This role is about so much more than rosters, administration, and clinic operations.

As Practice Manager, you'll help create the type of workplace people want to be part of. The right leader will have the opportunity to shape the culture, performance, and future direction of the entire team.

You'll be responsible for inspiring, encouraging, and supporting your team to thrive while creating exceptional experiences for the pets and people who walk through our doors every day.

You'll have the unique opportunity to remain connected to patient care through regular nursing and reception shifts while also influencing the bigger picture. Watching your team grow in confidence, supporting clients through every stage of their pet's journey, and helping create a clinic environment where people genuinely enjoy coming to work is what this role is all about.

If you've been looking for that next step into leadership but still want to stay connected to clinical practice and client care, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

About the Clinic

Greencross Wetherill Park is a purpose-built, community-focused clinic where teamwork, support, and genuine care for one another sit at the heart of everything we do.

Our team is known for being welcoming, collaborative, and down to earth. We work hard, celebrate wins together, support each other through busy days, and never lose sight of why we're here, to provide exceptional care for pets and the people who love them.

Located alongside Petbarn, we enjoy a fantastic relationship with our retail team, creating a seamless experience for pet owners and fostering a genuine sense of community. Together, we help guide clients through every stage of their pet's journey, from bringing home a new puppy to support them through their senior years.

Led by a highly respected Veterinary Director, our clinic combines high clinical standards with a warm, people‑first culture. You'll be surrounded by a team that values collaboration, open communication, continuous learning, and having each other's backs.

This is the kind of clinic where people stay because they enjoy the people they work with, and we support them.

About the Role

As Practice Manager, you'll play a hands‑on leadership role, balancing team development, clinic operations, client care, and veterinary nursing.

Working closely with the Veterinary Director and regional leadership team, you'll help create a positive, high‑performing clinic culture while supporting the day‑to‑day success of the practice. Your responsibilities will include leading and developing team members, supporting recruitment and rostering, driving operational efficiencies, maintaining exceptional client service standards, and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.

This isn't a desk‑only role. You'll remain actively involved in the clinic through regular veterinary nursing and reception shifts, leading from the front and supporting the team where needed.

About You

We're looking for someone who enjoys helping others succeed and leads by example.

You'll bring:

• Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing (or equivalent)


• Previous experience as a Practice Manager, Head Nurse, Senior Veterinary Nurse, or similar leadership role


• Strong leadership, coaching, and people development skills


• Confidence supporting nursing, reception, and operational functions of the clinic


• Excellent communication and organisational abilities


• A positive, collaborative approach and genuine passion for building team culture

Most importantly, you're someone who understands that great patient care starts with a happy, supported team.
