The Opportunity

We’re looking for an ambitious AHP Recruitment Consultant to join our team in Milton Keynes and help grow our Allied Health Professionals division.

This is a great opportunity for someone who already understands healthcare recruitment and wants to develop within the AHP market, or an experienced recruiter with a strong sales background who is looking to move into a busy and rewarding healthcare sector.

You’ll be responsible for developing relationships with both clients and candidates, building your own desk and placing high-quality AHP professionals into temporary and/or permanent roles across the UK.

Depending on your experience, there may already be an existing client and candidate base for you to develop, alongside plenty of opportunity to generate new business and grow your desk.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building and managing a successful AHP recruitment desk
• Developing relationships with NHS Trusts, private healthcare organisations and other healthcare clients
• Sourcing and engaging AHP candidates across a range of specialisms
• Managing candidates throughout the full recruitment process
• Working closely with compliance teams to ensure candidates are cleared and ready to work
• Matching available candidates to suitable vacancies and shifts
• Generating new business and developing existing client accounts
• Negotiating rates and commercial terms
• Maintaining regular contact with clients and candidates
• Working towards individual and team revenue targets
• Developing a strong understanding of the AHP market and identifying new opportunities for growth

Your desk could cover areas including:

• Physiotherapy
• Occupational Therapy
• Radiography
• Sonography
• Speech & Language Therapy
• Podiatry
• Pharmacy
• Biomedical Science
• Other Allied Health and Health Science disciplines

What We’re Looking For

Ideally, you’ll have previous experience within healthcare recruitment, AHP recruitment or another fast-paced recruitment sector .

More importantly, we’re looking for someone who is:

• Commercially driven and motivated by success
• Confident building relationships over the phone
• Organised and able to manage a busy candidate and client pipeline
• Resilient and comfortable working towards targets
• A strong communicator and negotiator
• Competitive, ambitious and keen to progress
• Able to work effectively both independently and as part of a team

Previous AHP recruitment experience would be a major advantage, but we’re also interested in speaking with strong recruiters from other healthcare or recruitment markets.

What We Offer

• Competitive basic salary based on experience
• Uncapped commission
• Clear opportunities for career progression
• Established healthcare recruitment business and infrastructure
• Dedicated compliance and operational support
• Ongoing training and development
• Elite Club
• Monthly/quarterly incentives

• Income Protection, Group Life and Critical Illness Policies
• Onsite Gym, Table Tennis, Pool Table, Dart Board, PS5 and Arcade Machine.
• Beer and Prosecco Friday

Why Join Us?

You’ll be joining an established healthcare recruitment business with the infrastructure, client relationships and industry knowledge to help you succeed.

We want people who are ambitious and commercially minded, but we also want people who enjoy coming to work and being part of a successful team.

If you’re an experienced recruiter looking for your next opportunity or you already know the AHP market and want a platform where you can genuinely grow your desk and earnings we’d like to hear from you.
