THE OPPORTUNITY
Fairmont Crest Executive Recruitment are delighted to be recruiting on behalf of a growing provider of on-demand and short-term healthcare workforce solutions. This is a newly created, commercially focused role for a driven Business Development Manager who is ready to make a real impact in the healthcare staffing sector.
At the heart of this business is an innovative online platform that connects qualified care workers directly with care homes and care providers — simplifying the process of sourcing agency staff at short notice and giving employers the flexibility they need to maintain safe, high-quality care.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will be the primary driver of new business growth, taking ownership of the full sales cycle from prospecting through to account management. You will draw on your existing network of contacts across the health and social care sector to build strong, lasting commercial relationships.
WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
Your key responsibilities will include:
* Proactively engaging with care homes, residential providers, domiciliary care operators and care commissioning bodies to generate new business
* Promoting the company's online portal as a modern, efficient solution for sourcing agency healthcare workers at pace
* Building and maintaining a strong pipeline of prospective clients, converting leads into long-term, high-value accounts
* Developing and nurturing relationships with decision-makers at all levels within care sector organisations
* Collaborating with internal operations and compliance teams to ensure client needs are met in line with regulatory standards
* Attending client sites when required, representing the business professionally and furthering commercial partnerships
* Providing regular reporting on business development activity, pipeline value and conversion metrics to the Managing Director
* Staying abreast of trends in healthcare staffing, workforce regulation and care sector commissioning

* Confidence in a consultative sales approach — able to listen, identify need and present tailored workforce solutions
* Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the presence to engage at director and board level
* Self-motivation and resilience — you are comfortable working autonomously and managing your own diary to maximise productivity
* Familiarity with technology-enabled staffing solutions, portals or online marketplaces is advantageous
* A professional, client-facing manner with the commercial acumen to identify and capitalise on market opportunities
