Recruitment Consultant / Senior Recruitment Consultant

Clinical Research Desk (Life Sciences)

• Brighton or Crawley (Hybrid – 2 days office / 3 days WFH)
• Warm desk – £200k–£350k billing potential
• Permanent Recruitment | Immediate Vacancy

A leading life sciences recruitment business is hiring for an immediate vacancy on a warm, established Clinical Research desk.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-performing permanent desk with live client relationships, a house account you can recruit for from day one, and genuine earning potential from the outset.

The desk is available due to the current consultant leaving to go travelling — meaning you’ll inherit a strong foundation and the chance to build quickly.

The Opportunity

• Take over a warm Clinical Research desk within Life Sciences
• Immediate access to a key house account and active client work
• Billing potential of £200k+ in year one, with scope for £300k–£350k
• Hybrid working: 2 days in-office, 3 days from home
• Long-term progression with the chance to grow into leadership
• Future opportunity to own part of the business

What We’re Looking For

• 360 recruitment experience (minimum 2 years+)
• Background in life sciences, scientific recruitment, or another technical market (engineering, tech, etc.)
• Strong business development capability and confidence managing clients
• High energy, ambition, and real hunger to succeed
• Someone excited by building something long-term on a warm platform

Why This Role Stands Out

Warm desks like this don’t come around often - especially in a high-growth, resilient sector like clinical research.

If you’re looking for a role where you can hit the ground running, earn well, and build towards something bigger, this is it.
