Simplyhealth is a 150-year-old business with an amazing heritage and history of changing healthcare in the UK. We’re continually modernising, as reflected by the recent award to B-Corp status; something that is very important to our customers and to our people.

We have 2 million customers across our Health and Dental products and with an ever-increasing strain on the NHS, and a cost-of-living crisis, the products that Simplyhealth offer are needed more than ever before. But Simplyhealth have bigger ambitions than that. We’re on a mission to improve access to healthcare for everyone in the UK to help people live their best lives.

We're looking for a new Business Development Consultant to join the team covering the East Scotland. With approximately 41,000 Denplan patients already in the area, we're looking for candidates who are passionate and experienced on both Account Management and growth as well as prospecting new business. You'll be expected to generate patient recruitment from both existing and new client relationships with dental practices across your area ranging from Edinburgh up to inverness so experience in the dental sector is key. As well as selling Denplan into new practices and building on existing relationships, you will also demonstrate products and services to existing and prospect clients to assist them in selecting those best suited to their needs.

This is a field based role so you will be expected to visit practices across your area face to face.

Key Role Responsibilities will include:

• To establish or maintain close, productive relationships with key clients in the designated area to secure their relationship with Simplyhealth
• Development of those clients to produce net business growth
• To employ all available tools, training, events, devices and processes to demonstrate to clients the value of a continuing relationship with Denplan
• Research the territory and potential business opportunities
• Produce and execute a working strategy and business plan
• Prospecting activity within the geographical area to raise awareness of our brand and range of products.
• Establishing relationships with key stakeholders with the ability to move them quickly to a decision point

We’re interested in what you do and how you do things, not when and where you do them. Our ‘smart working’ approach gives you the best of all worlds – working from home, in our modern offices in Hampshire or on the move. This means depending on your role, there will be opportunities to flex when and where you spend your time to perform at your very best. For many of us this means day to day work can be handled remotely, but there will also be times when we need to come together in the office to collaborate, attend training sessions, induction, briefings and more. You might know it as flexible or hybrid working, for us it’s just another day living our best lives!

We're looking for candidates who:

Our Values

• Courage and Curiosity - So we deliver profits for a purpose
• Trust and Kindness - Because our customers, colleagues and communities are at the heart of what we do
• All Together Healthier - Enabling better health outcomes together

• Free health cash plan or dental payment plan
• A yearly company funded allowance of £600 that you can choose to use against some great benefits such as shopping vouchers, pet insurance, dental plans and more
