Are you a confident, commercially minded individual who thrives on building relationships, generating new business and making things happen? Do you have a passion for health, fitness, sport or wellness and want a role where you can genuinely make your mark?

We are recruiting for an exciting and unique opportunity with a thriving private health and wellness clinic in Bristol. With an excellent reputation for delivering exceptional care and supporting a diverse range of clients, including those within the sporting world, the business is entering an exciting period of growth.

This is far more than a traditional Clinic Manager or Business Development Manager position. Combining sales, business development, customer experience and clinic operations, you will have the freedom to take ownership, introduce new ideas and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the business.

Whether you come from a sales, fitness, wellness, healthcare or service-led background, if you are commercially driven, exceptionally organised and enjoy working with people, this could be the opportunity you have been looking for.

The Role:

• Take ownership of the day-to-day operations of a busy private wellness clinic, ensuring a professional, efficient and welcoming environment.

• Proactively generate new business through networking, prospecting, referrals, local partnerships and relationship building.

• Build and develop relationships with gyms, personal trainers, sports clubs, fitness professionals, local businesses and the wider wellness community.

• Identify new commercial opportunities and introduce initiatives to increase bookings, revenue and brand awareness.

• Manage incoming enquiries, identify buying signals and confidently convert potential clients into bookings and treatment packages.

• Oversee appointment scheduling, practitioner diaries, customer communications and general clinic administration.

• Deliver an exceptional customer experience, building strong relationships that encourage repeat business and referrals.

• Organise promotional activities, screening events and networking opportunities to attract new clients.

• Support and coordinate practitioners, ensuring the clinic operates efficiently and maintains exceptional service standards.

• Work closely with the business owner to establish sales targets, monitor performance and implement growth strategies.

• Contribute ideas to improve processes, develop services and support the future expansion of the clinic.

• Take ownership of your results, with the opportunity to influence business performance and directly benefit from its success.

The Candidate:

• Proven experience in sales, business development, account management or a commercially focused position.

• A natural relationship builder who enjoys meeting new people, networking and creating business opportunities.

• Ideally, experience or a genuine interest in health, fitness, sports, rehabilitation, wellness or private healthcare.

• Commercially astute, with the confidence to recognise opportunities, convert enquiries and achieve sales targets.

• Exceptionally organised, with the ability to balance operational responsibilities alongside new business development.

• Confident, personable and professional, with excellent communication and customer service skills.

• Proactive, self-motivated and comfortable working independently without constant supervision.

• A hands-on approach, happy to manage everything from customer bookings and administration through to business growth.

• Comfortable managing people, coordinating teams and taking responsibility for high standards.

• Based in or around Bristol, with the ability to develop a strong local network.

Previous experience managing a clinic is advantageous but not essential. We are particularly interested in ambitious individuals with strong commercial instincts, excellent organisational skills and the enthusiasm to take a growing business to the next level.

In Return:

• £36,000 – £43,000 annual equivalent, depending on experience and agreed working arrangements.

• Uncapped commission potential and performance-related bonuses, with the opportunity to substantially increase earnings.

• Flexible working arrangements, including a combination of clinic-based, remote and external business development activities.

• The option to explore an employed or self-employed arrangement.

• Genuine autonomy to manage your responsibilities, introduce ideas and make the role your own.

• The opportunity to work closely with an ambitious business owner and influence the direction of a successful clinic.

• A varied position combining sales, business development, operations and customer relationship management.

• Excellent opportunities for personal development as the clinic expands.

• The chance to become an integral part of a growing business operating within the exciting health, wellness and sports recovery sector.

If you are ambitious, commercially focused and ready for a new challenge where your efforts can make a real difference, we would love to hear from you.
