Full-time | 9-12 month fixed term contract

What you’ll be doing:
- Develop and deliver a clear business development strategy across multiple service lines.
- Increase enquiries, admissions, occupancy and private client revenue.
- Build relationships with NHS organisations, healthcare providers, local authorities, professional referrers and private clients.
- Identify new markets, partnerships and revenue opportunities.
- Develop referral pathways and improve the customer journey from initial enquiry through to admission.
- Use data and market insight to identify opportunities and measure performance.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we’re looking for:
We’re looking for a commercially minded, proactive business developer who knows how to build relationships and create growth. We’re seeking a proven track record in business development, sales, partnerships or service growth, together with the confidence to operate with senior stakeholders. Experience in health, social care, healthcare, professional services, public sector or another relationship-led environment would be preferable.
We’re particularly interested in people who are:
- Commercial and results-focused.
- Strong relationship builders and networkers.
- Confident influencing senior stakeholders.
- Comfortable developing new markets and partnerships.
- Strategic enough to see the bigger picture, but hands-on enough to make things happen.
- Motivated by the opportunity to build something rather than simply manage an established process.
