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
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.

Your desk could cover areas including:
- Physiotherapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Radiography
- Sonography
- Speech & Language Therapy
- Dietetics
- Podiatry

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
- Comfortable developing new business
- 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
