Hospital Director - Private Healthcare
Commutable from Woking, Guildford & Basingstoke | Private Acute
Surrey has one of the strongest private healthcare markets in the country. It also has some of the fiercest competition for it. That's exactly why my client — a leading independent private healthcare provider — is investing in the right Hospital Director for their Guildford site.
This is a site leadership role for someone who wants the commercial reins, not just the operational ones.
The Remit:
- Full accountability for P&L, budget, and commercial growth
- Owning the consultant proposition — recruitment, engagement, and retention
- Driving self-pay and PMI performance in an affluent, high-demand catchment
- Maintaining outstanding standards of clinical governance, CQC compliance, and patient experience
- Setting the culture and building a senior leadership team people want to stay in
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
