Job description

Senior Recruitment Consultant, Permanent Doctors & Nurses Desk (Private Sector)

CPL Healthcare | Central London (St James's) | Hybrid: 2 days in the office, 3 from home

Are you a perm healthcare recruiter who loves winning new business as much as closing placements? We're looking for an experienced consultant to run a permanent recruitment desk placing doctors and nurses into the private sector, with real autonomy and a great team behind you.

The role

This is a full 360 permanent desk. You'll own the whole process, from opening new client accounts to headhunting and closing senior permanent appointments:

• Winning and developing new private sector clients, including private hospitals, clinic groups, GP practices and specialist healthcare providers
• Managing senior and hard-to-fill permanent appointments, from consultants and clinical leads to senior nursing and leadership roles
• Headhunting doctors and nurses through your own network, referrals and direct approaches
• Building long-term client relationships and becoming a trusted adviser on their hiring
• Shaping the growth of the desk, with scope to develop new specialisms over time

What we're looking for

• Permanent recruitment experience, ideally in healthcare
• A strong BD track record, with evidence of bringing on new private sector clients
• Confidence and discretion handling senior appointments
• Nursing recruitment experience is a real plus
• Commercial, self-motivated and driven by results
• A genuinely great team: small, supportive, experienced and fun to work with
• Hybrid working: 2 days a week in our St James's office, the rest from home
• Competitive basic salary with uncapped commission
• The backing of the wider CPL Group, with an established brand and international reach
• Clear progression as the desk grows
