Senior Business Development Consultant

£27,000 - £33,000 DOE + Uncapped Commission | Office Based | Nottingham

Help Care Providers Solve Their Biggest Challenges

At Delphi Care Solutions, we work with care providers across the UK to improve quality, achieve compliance, overcome operational challenges, and deliver better outcomes for the people they support.

This isn't a high-volume sales environment where you're pushing products people don't need. Our clients come to us because they need expert support. Whether they're preparing for inspection, improving service quality, navigating compliance concerns, opening new services, overcoming staffing challenges, or driving operational improvement, we provide practical solutions that make a genuine difference.

We're looking for a confident, ambitious, and commercially minded Senior Business Development Consultant to help drive the next phase of our growth.

If you enjoy building relationships, opening doors, creating opportunities, and having meaningful conversations with senior decision-makers, this could be the perfect opportunity.

About the Role

As a Senior Business Development Consultant, you'll be responsible for identifying, engaging, and developing relationships with care providers across the UK.

You'll speak directly with owners, directors, registered managers, responsible individuals, and senior leaders, taking the time to understand the challenges they're facing and introducing specialist services that can genuinely help their organisations succeed.

This is a consultative role where credibility, trust, and relationship-building are far more important than a scripted sales pitch. You'll work alongside some of the most experienced professionals in the sector, helping organisations access expert support that improves quality, strengthens compliance, develops services, and ultimately enhances outcomes for the people they support.

Every conversation has the potential to make a real difference.

What You'll Be Doing

• Generating new business opportunities through telephone outreach, email campaigns, LinkedIn networking, referrals, and relationship-building activity.

• Developing relationships with care providers across the children's, adult social care, supported living, domiciliary care, and healthcare sectors.

• Identifying organisations that could benefit from Delphi's specialist services, including:

• Mock CQC inspections and compliance audits

• Quality assurance reviews

• Turnaround and improvement support

• Registration and regulatory guidance

• Operational improvement programmes

• Responsible Individual support

• Leadership and management consultancy

• Recruitment and workforce solutions

• Booking consultations and meetings with prospective clients.

• Managing and developing a pipeline of opportunities through our CRM system.

• Following up enquiries, quotations, and proposals.

• Building long-term relationships that generate repeat business and referrals.

• Working closely with consultants and operational specialists to ensure clients receive an outstanding service.

• Achieving agreed activity and revenue targets.

• Representing Delphi professionally within the health and social care sector.

What We're Looking For

Essential

• Experience in business development, consultative sales, account management, recruitment, or a similar client-facing role.
• Proven experience generating and developing B2B opportunities.
• Confidence speaking with business owners and senior decision-makers.
• Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Experience managing a sales pipeline and working with CRM systems.
• A proactive, organised, and target-driven approach.
• The ability to identify challenges, build trust, and offer solutions.
• Strong commercial awareness and a genuine desire to succeed.

Desirable

• Experience within health and social care.
• Recruitment industry experience.
• Existing sector contacts and networks.
• Experience selling consultancy, professional services, or solutions-based services.
• Knowledge of the challenges facing care providers.

Sector experience would be advantageous, but it isn't essential. We can teach you our market. What matters most is your ability to build relationships, create opportunities, and communicate with confidence.

What You'll Get

• £27,000 - £33,000 basic salary depending on experience
• Uncapped commission structure
• Realistic first-year OTE of £45,000 - £60,000+
• 25 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays
• Full training on Delphi's services and the health and social care sector
• Ongoing coaching and development
• Genuine career progression opportunities
• Support from one of the most experienced consultancy teams in the sector
• Professional, supportive, and ambitious working environment
• The opportunity to play a key role in the growth of a nationally recognised consultancy
