Your Journey to Leadership Starts Here

Location: Melville, Johannesburg

  • Position: Successor to Dr. Gys de Necker

    📍 Location: De Necker Dentistry – Melville, Johannesburg

    🗓️ Start Date: December 2025

    De Necker Dentistry is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a vibrant, driven, and entrepreneurial dentist to step into a career-defining role: to be personally mentored by Dr. Gys de Necker and eventually take over leadership of the flagship Melville practice. The successful candidate can expect to have strong support from the leading members of the group.

    This is not just a job. It’s a career path — a transition into business ownership, leadership, and becoming an integral part of one of South Africa’s most respected dental groups.

    What This Opportunity Offers:

    • Work side-by-side with Dr. Gys de Necker for 3–4 years in a hands-on mentorship and transition period

    • Structured pathway to acquire shares in the Melville practice over time (in an affordable, assisted model)

    • You will be exposed to cutting edge technology and equipment in a world class environment.

    • Opportunity to grow into a leadership role within the De Necker Dentistry Group

    • Step into a well-established, high-performing practice with an exceptional clinical and support team

    What We’re Looking For:

    • A young, dynamic dentist with a strong clinical foundation and a hunger to grow

    • Someone who sees this practice as their long-term home

    • A true all-rounder — clinically confident and eager to learn all aspects of running and growing a business while doing wet-finger dentistry.

    • A go-getter with initiative, leadership qualities, and the ability to inspire a team

    • Managerial aptitude — previous leadership experience advantageous

    • An entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to build something bigger than yourself

    • A special interest in Orthodontics would be a strong advantage

    • Willingness to commit to a multi-year journey toward ownership and leadership

    • A candidate who can think outside the box, doing the opposite of the obvious when challenges arise.

    Who This Is For:

    You’re not just looking for a position — you’re looking for a purpose. You want to build, lead, grow, and take ownership of something meaningful. You’re excited about the idea of building relationships with patients, mentoring others in the future, and shaping the future of modern dentistry in South Africa.

    If you’re ready to commit to a path that blends clinical excellence with entrepreneurial growth, and you’re ready to be mentored by one of the country’s most respected dental professionals, we’d love to hear from you.
