Franchise Partner / Contract Recruiter - Healthcare in Southend-on-Sea

Join an existing KTS healthcare franchise, with warm market knowledge, support and infrastructure already in place. Are you a contract recruiter with at least 12 months’ experience? Do you want more freedom, more flexibility and stronger financial upside, but without having to build an entire recruitment franchise from scratch? This opportunity is different. We are looking for a Franchise Partner / Contract Recruiter to join an existing KTS Group healthcare franchise operating in the UK private healthcare sector. You will work alongside an established Lead Franchisee who already understands the market, knows the client base and has access to existing market intelligence and candidate knowledge. You will still need to be commercially driven. You will still need to do business development. You will still need to pick up the phone, build relationships, manage clients and deliver contract placements. But you will be doing it inside a market that is already known, supported and active.

The Opportunity

This is a strong fit for a recruiter who wants the benefits of the KTS franchise model, but would rather join an established healthcare desk than launch a standalone franchise immediately. You will support and grow contract recruitment activity in the UK private healthcare market, working closely with the Lead Franchisee and benefiting from the wider KTS platform, infrastructure and support. You will be expected to:

• Develop and manage client relationships within the UK private healthcare sector.
• Work warm client leads and existing market intelligence.
• Build and maintain strong candidate relationships.
• Deliver contract recruitment assignments from client requirement through to placement.
• Support business development activity in a market already known by the franchise.
• Follow the direction and market strategy of the Lead Franchisee.
• Work independently, professionally and flexibly.
• Represent the KTS and Key Health brand with trust, care and commercial maturity.

What You Will Get

KTS is built for recruiters who want independence without isolation. You will have access to:

• An existing healthcare franchise structure.
• A Lead Franchisee who already knows the market.
• Warm client knowledge and live market insight.
• A known candidate pool and healthcare recruitment focus.
• KTS back-office support, including contracts, compliance, onboarding, invoicing, timesheets and payroll.
• Technology, tools and support to help you move faster.
• A flexible working model.
• The opportunity to build long-term recurring contract revenue.
• The financial freedom and earning potential of the KTS franchise model.

Who This Is For

This role is for someone who has already worked in contract recruitment and understands that recruitment is a sales-led, relationship-driven business. You should be:

• Experienced in contract recruitment, with a minimum of 12 months’ experience.
• Comfortable working in healthcare, private healthcare, nursing, clinical, care, medical or a similar contract-led market.
• Prepared to focus on contract recruitment.
• Confident speaking with clients and candidates.
• Willing to do business development and grow relationships.
• Able to follow the lead of an established Lead Franchisee.
• Trustworthy, professional and commercially mature.
• Comfortable working remotely and independently.
• Motivated by flexibility, autonomy and performance-based reward.

Who This Is Not For

This is not a trainee role. This is not for someone who wants to be handed everything. This is not for someone who avoids business development. This is not for a perm-only recruiter who does not want to work contract roles. This is not for someone who needs heavy management or a traditional corporate structure. We are looking for someone who wants freedom, but also understands accountability.

Why KTS?

KTS gives recruiters the ability to operate with the flexibility and upside of being independent, while still having the backing of an established group, proven infrastructure, brand support, compliance, payroll, systems and commercial guidance. In this role, you will not be alone. You will be joining an existing healthcare franchise and working with a Lead Franchisee who already has market understanding, client knowledge and a clear direction. You bring the recruitment ability, energy, trust and business development mindset. We provide the platform, structure and support.
