🚨 Senior Recruitment Consultant – NHS Transformation & Operations 📍 Central London (Great Portland Street) | Hybrid Working 💰 £40,000 Base + Uncapped Commission (£100k+ potential)
We’re partnering with a highly respected boutique healthcare recruitment business that has spent the last 10+ years building one of the NHS market’s strongest reputations for quality, delivery and long-term client relationships.
This is not a KPI-heavy, call-centre style recruitment role.
This is an opportunity for an ambitious recruiter to step into a warm, established desk specialising in senior NHS interim appointments across operations, transformation, programme delivery and improvement.
You’ll work directly with senior NHS leaders on high-impact projects including: • Waiting list recovery • Operational turnaround • Transformation programmes • Service improvement initiatives • Executive and senior interim appointments
The business has built an exceptional reputation within the NHS and increasingly competes with major consultancies on healthcare transformation projects.
🔹 Why this opportunity stands out:
✅ Warm desk with existing relationships and live requirements ✅ Genuine long-term growth opportunity beyond initial maternity cover ✅ Opportunity to move into executive search and consultancy-style recruitment ✅ Highly consultative environment focused on credibility and relationships ✅ Direct access to senior NHS decision-makers and transformation leaders ✅ Boutique business where quality matters more than volume ✅ Strong earning potential with no threshold commission structure
💰 Commission Structure: • 20% commission on up to 2 placements per month • 25% commission on 3+ placements per month • No threshold before earning commission
Top performers in the business are earning well into six figures.
🏢 Hybrid Working: • 3 days per week in the office (Monday, Tuesday & Thursday) • Centrally located office near Great Portland Street with excellent transport links
👀 Who they’re looking for:
This role will suit a recruiter who: • Builds relationships naturally • Enjoys consultative, insight-led recruitment • Wants to become a genuine market expert • Is motivated by success, reputation and earnings • Thrives in complex, senior-level recruitment environments
Public sector or NHS recruitment experience is helpful but not essential. The key requirement is the ability to understand client challenges deeply and operate as a trusted adviser rather than a transactional recruiter.
This is an outstanding opportunity to join a respected growth business at an exciting stage of expansion, with the chance to build a long-term career in one of the UK’s most impactful recruitment markets.
