We're the UK's leading independent search and recruitment specialist across the Health, Social Care, and Life Sciences sectors, and we're growing our Primary Care team.

Primary care is the first point of contact in the healthcare system, general practice, community pharmacy, dental, and eyecare and demand for great people in this space has never been higher. We're looking for a driven, relationship focused Recruitment Consultant to build and grow a desk across this sector, working with everyone from GPs and Practice Nurses to Urgent care clinicians, Occupational Health specialists and senior management.

  • Work a genuinely in demand sector. Primary Care spans general practice, pharmacy, dental and eyecare, giving you a broad, resilient desk to build.
  • Structured support - accredited training, hands-on mentoring, and a clear progression path from Consultant through to Director level.
  • Join an award winning team, multiple time Recruiter of the Year, Investors in People Gold, Great place to work accreditation and a 4.8 Glassdoor rating with 96% of staff saying they'd recommend us.
  • A supportive, grounded culture where wins are celebrated and colleagues genuinely have your back.

What you'll be doing

  • Headhunting and engaging top talent across the Primary Care sector, nationwide.

  • Winning new business and growing your desk into a genuinely lucrative, long term patch.
  • Running your desk like your own mini business, backed by an established, respected brand.

What we're looking for

  • Recruitment experience is a plus, but a strong work ethic and love of talking to people matters more. We'll teach you the sector.
  • A proactive, resilient, and genuinely curious approach to building relationships.
  • Someone motivated by progression, recognition, and reward, not just a pay cheque.
  • Great communication skills and the confidence to hold your own with clinicians, practice managers, and healthcare directors.
  • A team player who wants to build a career, not just do a job.

  • Uncapped commission, up to 35% for top performers.
  • Up to 38 days annual leave (including service related increases).
