Business Development Manager

Salary/Rate: Competitive package based on experience
Job type: Permanent
Location: Yorkshire

Select Medical are on the look-out for a keen, self-starter with a passion for developing leads, forging new relationships and selling our outstanding range of pressure care equipment. You need to be an ambitious and dynamic individual and ideally have experience of working in the NHS, health care or care home sector. Working across a range of channels, this field based job requires someone with a proven track record in nurturing new business, exceeding targets and negotiating to close business deals.

At Select Medical we think differently. We believe that we have a bigger role to play than simply manufacturing and selling pressure care mattresses. We’re here to make a real difference to the lives of the care provider, carer and the cared for. It’s what we call our C3 approach and it’s at the heart of our business. If you think you’re the right person to bring our C3 approach to life by always going that extra mile then we’d like to hear from you.
