Clinical & Decontamination Recruitment Specialist
(Decontamination / Endoscopy / Surgical Services)
Location: Office-based in either Cuffley, Hertfordshire or Newton Abbot, Devon
Salary: £38,000 to £55,000 per annum, depending on experience, plus benefits
Hours: Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 17:30, with additional hours as reasonably required to support business growth and service delivery
About Us
Frontline Health Professionals and Frontline Insourcing, part of Aetheria Group, specialise in delivering high-quality workforce and insourced medical service solutions to the NHS, private healthcare providers and the wider public sector.
Our core areas of expertise include endoscopy, decontamination and surgical services, delivered through experienced consultants, surgeons, nurses, allied health professionals and wider multidisciplinary teams. We support NHS providers with workforce solutions, insourced clinical service delivery and specialist operational expertise designed to help services increase capacity, improve productivity, and support waiting list and diagnostic recovery objectives.
With established access to NHS frameworks, deep sector expertise, and proven leadership in sterile services and decontamination, including SSU and TSSU environments, we are continuing to expand these service lines and are now looking for an outstanding Clinical & Decontamination Recruitment Specialist to help drive that growth.
The Opportunity
This is a hands-on, high-impact 360 recruitment, onboarding and service development role. It is ideally suited to an experienced Decontamination Manager, HCPC-registered Operating Department Practitioner (ODP), or NMC-registered Theatre Nurse who wants to bring their clinical and operational expertise into a more commercial, strategic and growth-focused environment.
You will play a central role in helping us expand our endoscopy, decontamination and surgical workforce offering across the NHS and wider healthcare sector, supporting both recruitment delivery and service-line development.
This is not a narrow recruitment desk role. It is an opportunity to combine clinical credibility, workforce expertise, onboarding discipline, client support, lead generation, service mobilisation and commercial contribution within a business that understands NHS insourcing, workforce delivery, sterile services, operational quality and public sector procurement.
About the Role
You will be involved across the full recruitment and service support lifecycle, including:
- sourcing and attracting high-calibre candidates for endoscopy, decontamination and surgical services
- managing onboarding and compliance processes to ensure candidates are fully compliant and deployment-ready
- supporting lead generation and service-line growth across key operational areas
- helping maintain and strengthen relationships with candidates, clients and internal stakeholders
- supporting rostering and deployment activity to help ensure safe and effective service delivery
- contributing to the development and expansion of our endoscopy and decontamination offering in line with NHS demand and operational priorities
- assisting with the development and management of existing accounts, as well as supporting new client opportunities
- working closely with leadership and delivery teams to support service mobilisation, workforce planning and operational readiness
Why This Role Is Different
You will work closely with an experienced former NHS TSSU Technician, NHS operational leadership, and an experienced Managing Director, together bringing more than 55 years of NHS insourcing and recruitment experience. You will also be supported by an established team of recruiters and administrators, with access to a broad range of NHS framework opportunities spanning both temporary staffing and insourced service delivery.
This gives you the rare opportunity to join a business that combines:
- genuine sector credibility
- established NHS access
- specialist understanding of decontamination and endoscopy
- operational leadership experience
- and a strong platform for further growth
Key Responsibilities
You will:
- recruit high-calibre candidates for endoscopy, decontamination and surgical services
- manage onboarding and compliance processes to ensure candidates are fully compliant and ready for deployment
- support business development activity through lead generation, market mapping and client engagement support
- build and maintain strong relationships with candidates, clients and internal stakeholders
- support rostering and scheduling to help ensure safe and effective workforce delivery
- contribute to the growth of our endoscopy and decontamination service offering in line with NHS demand, operational priorities and market opportunity
- support account development and help identify new client and service opportunities
- work collaboratively with leadership, delivery and commercial teams to support service mobilisation and workforce planning
- contribute to a disciplined, professional and solutions-focused working culture
About You
We are looking for an experienced and credible clinical professional who wants to move into a more commercial, operational and business development-focused role, while still using their technical expertise to shape high-quality workforce and service solutions.
You will ideally:
- hold active HCPC registration as an ODP, IDSc membership / decontamination leadership experience, or active NMC registration as a nurse
- have a strong professional background in endoscopy, decontamination and/or surgical services
- understand clinical staffing, service delivery and the operational realities of working within NHS and regulated healthcare environments
- be interested in combining recruitment, onboarding, service development and business growth
- have strong interpersonal and communication skills
- be confident working in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
- be organised, commercially aware and motivated by helping build high-quality services
- be ready to contribute across the full 360 cycle, from candidate attraction and onboarding through to deployment support and lead generation
What We Are Looking For
The successful candidate will bring:
- excellent clinical credibility and sector understanding
- a proactive and commercially minded approach
- the confidence to build relationships with both candidates and clients
- strong organisational discipline and attention to detail
- the ability to work collaboratively with operational, clinical and commercial colleagues
- a genuine desire to help grow a strategically important service line within a respected and expanding organisation
Why Join Us
This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing and ambitious team with genuine expertise and a strong platform for further expansion.
You will be part of a business with:
- established access to NHS frameworks
- strong expertise in NHS insourcing and strategic procurement
- specialist knowledge in endoscopy, surgical services and sterile / decontamination services
- an experienced operational and leadership team
- the opportunity to help shape and grow a strategically important service line
- a business that values professionalism, energy, teamwork and intelligent execution
For the right person, this role offers real visibility, real influence and the chance to help build something meaningful in an area of healthcare where demand, expertise and quality genuinely matter.
