Are you an experienced 360 Recruitment Consultant who loves winning new business but wants to move away from sourcing candidates, filling vacancies and managing the full recruitment cycle?

We're recruiting for a Business Development Executive to join two established healthcare businesses operating across temporary nursing recruitment and CQC-regulated homecare services.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially driven recruiter who wants to focus on what they do best: developing client relationships, securing new business and generating revenue.

You'll have the opportunity to win new clients, grow existing accounts and identify opportunities across two complementary healthcare sectors, with a commission structure that rewards the business you generate.

Package and Benefits

• £30,000 to £35,000 basic salary, depending on experience.
• Commission of 5% of gross profit for the first six months, followed by 1% thereafter.
• Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
• Office-based in Sutton, Surrey.
• 20 days' annual leave, increasing to 25 days with service.
• Additional day off for your birthday.
• Company pension scheme.
• Retail, lifestyle and gym membership discounts.
• Staff recognition awards and company social events.
• Opportunities for career progression into senior commercial and management positions.

About the Company

Our client comprises two established healthcare businesses specialising in temporary nursing recruitment and domiciliary care services.

Working with NHS Trusts, private hospitals, care homes, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), local authorities and private clients, the businesses have established relationships across the healthcare sector.

With an existing client base, experienced operational teams and opportunities for further growth, this Business Development Executive opportunity offers the chance to develop new business across multiple healthcare markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and secure new business opportunities across healthcare recruitment and homecare services.
• Generate leads through outbound calls, prospecting, networking and targeted business development activity.
• Build relationships with NHS Trusts, private hospitals, care homes, local authorities and healthcare commissioners.
• Arrange client meetings, present services and negotiate commercial agreements.
• Identify opportunities to secure new supplier agreements and increase business with existing clients.
• Develop existing accounts to increase revenue and identify further opportunities.
• Identify cross-selling opportunities between temporary nursing recruitment and domiciliary care services.
• Build relationships with senior decision-makers, including operational managers, procurement teams and healthcare commissioners.
• Maintain an accurate sales pipeline and record client activity using Salesforce CRM.
• Work alongside recruitment, clinical and operational teams to identify opportunities and support business growth.

About You

• Previous experience as a 360 Recruitment Consultant, Senior Recruitment Consultant or Recruitment Business Development Executive.
• Proven experience generating new business, winning clients and developing commercial relationships.
• Confident making outbound sales calls, arranging client meetings and negotiating agreements.
• Strong relationship‑building, communication and account management skills.
• Commercially minded, target‑driven and comfortable working towards sales KPIs.
• Able to manage your own business development pipeline and work independently.

Experience within healthcare recruitment, nursing recruitment, medical staffing or temporary recruitment would be advantageous. However, applications from experienced 360 recruiters in other sectors with a strong business development track record are also welcome.

For someone looking to move away from candidate delivery and focus entirely on client acquisition and account development, this Business Development Executive - Recruitment position offers an excellent next step.
