Are you an experienced Dental Technician ready to step into leadership? Or an established Operations Manager, General Manager, Practice Manager or people leader looking for an exciting opportunity within the dental sector?
Consult are proud to be partnering with a leading UK dental laboratory group to appoint a Laboratory Leader for one of their key sites. This is a high-impact role with full responsibility for people, performance and site success.
While a Dental Technician background is the preference, the client is equally open to strong leaders from wider management backgrounds who can bring commercial awareness, operational excellence and a people-first mindset. If you have dental knowledge or experience leading teams in a similar environment, we’d strongly encourage an application.
The Opportunity
This role offers the chance to lead an established laboratory operation, combining technical quality, customer service, team leadership and commercial delivery.
Working closely with senior leadership, you’ll help drive sustainable growth, improve efficiencies and create a positive, high-performing culture across the site.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the day-to-day running of the laboratory site
- Manage, motivate and develop technicians and wider staff teams
- Deliver sales and EBITDA targets for the business
- Create and execute annual sales and profit plans
- Improve productivity, workflow and operational efficiency
- Recruit, retain and succession plan for key roles
- Ensure DAMAS, quality and Health & Safety standards are maintained
- Support implementation of group systems, branding and strategic initiatives
- Build an engaged, inclusive and high-performing culture
About You
We’d love to hear from:
- Senior Dental Technicians ready for a broader leadership move
- Existing Laboratory Managers or Supervisors
- Practice Managers, Operations Managers or General Managers
- Leaders from dental, healthcare, manufacturing or technical environments
- Individuals who understand how to motivate people and deliver results
- Strong communicators who can balance standards, service and commercial goals
Why Apply?
This is a genuine opportunity to join a respected and growing organisation where you can make a real impact. Whether you come from the bench or the boardroom, if you can lead people and improve performance, this could be a superb next move.
