Managing Consultant Private Healthcare & Adult Social Care Recruitment

About MindSearch Medical

MindSearch Medical is a specialist permanent recruitment consultancy supporting private healthcare and adult social care providers.

Already established in the French healthcare market, we are now expanding our activity in the UK and are looking for an experienced recruitment professional to lead this development.

The role

This is a hands-on position combining business development, permanent recruitment delivery and team management.

You will develop relationships with private healthcare and adult social care providers across the UK, manage recruitment assignments from start to finish and supervise our existing Junior Healthcare Recruitment Consultant, who is fully bilingual in English and French.

The role focuses on private and independent care providers rather than NHS recruitment.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing new client relationships across the UK private healthcare and adult social care markets.
  
• Generating permanent recruitment assignments through proactive business development and networking.
  
• Managing the full recruitment process, from client briefing and candidate sourcing to offer negotiation and onboarding.
  
• Building long-term relationships with care groups, independent providers and multisite operators.
  
• Recruiting management, clinical leadership and operational professionals.
  
• Advising clients on salaries, candidate availability and market conditions.
  
• Managing, coaching and supporting a Junior Healthcare Recruitment Consultant.
  
• Contributing to the growth and visibility of MindSearch Medical in the UK.
  

Typical assignments may include:

• CQC Registered Managers
  
• Care Home and Nursing Home Managers
  
• Domiciliary Care Registered Managers
  
• Supported Living Managers
  
• Clinical Leads and Nurse Managers
  
• Regional, Area and Operations Managers
  
• Quality and Compliance Managers
  

Requirements

You will be an experienced agency recruiter with a strong background in permanent healthcare or adult social care recruitment.

You will ideally have:

• A proven track record in permanent healthcare or care sector recruitment.
  
• Strong knowledge of the UK private healthcare or adult social care market.
  
• Experience developing new client relationships and generating recruitment revenue.
  
• Strong business development, account management and candidate sourcing skills.
  
• The confidence to engage with business owners, senior operational leaders and HR professionals.
  
• A proactive, entrepreneurial and commercially focused approach.
  

French-speaking skills would be an advantage, particularly when working alongside our existing activity in France, but they are not essential.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
