Recruitment Manager – Healthcare & Medical £50,000–£60,000 basic + commission OTE £80,000+ Hybrid (commutable from Dorset & Hampshire)
A high‑growth healthcare recruitment division is ready for its next leader. Our client, a respected specialist in private healthcare and medical recruitment agency, is seeking an ambitious and experienced Recruitment Manager to take ownership of a thriving team and scale it into a market‑leading division.
The Opportunity
You’ll be stepping into a well‑established team of four experienced 360 consultants (2–7 years’ experience), all performing strongly. The foundations are solid — now they need a manager who can elevate performance, expand headcount, and shape the long‑term direction of the division.
There is genuine scope to grow this team to 15+ consultants within 24–36 months, supported by investment, autonomy, and a clear strategic plan.
This is a role with a defined leadership pathway:
- Associate Director within 2 years
- Potential Managing Director within 5 years
Your success will directly influence the pace of your progression.
What You’ll Be Doing
Around 70% of your role will focus on leadership:
- Coaching, developing, and motivating consultants
- Driving quality‑led recruitment activity
- Embedding strong processes and performance habits
- Growing the team through smart hiring and structured development
You’ll also maintain a small personal billing target, leading by example and setting the standard for excellence.
Who We’re Looking For
- A proven recruitment manager or senior consultant ready to step up
- Experience in a traditional 360 recruitment environment (not suited to internal recruiters)
- Someone who thrives on developing people and building high‑performing teams
- Ambitious, commercially minded, and excited by growth
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t a “fixer” role — it’s a growth role. You’ll inherit a capable team, a respected brand, and a supportive leadership structure. What you build from here is up to you.
If you’re driven by developing talent, scaling teams, and shaping a division’s future, this is a rare opportunity to make a lasting impact.
