Compass Associates is recruiting for an established and fast-growing single-site private hospital to appoint a Director of Sales & Patient Services. This is a key leadership appointment, taking ownership of an established 17-person sales function and playing a pivotal role in the organisation's continued growth.

The Opportunity This is a hands-on, sales-led leadership role with a clear focus on improving conversion, maximising revenue and getting the very best performance from an established team.
