Sales Development Representative (SDR)

This is an entry point into recruitment for someone who wants to learn properly and build a long-term career. As an SDR at Apricus Resourcing, your role is to generate new opportunities by opening conversations with decision-makers across health, social care and charities.

You will not be left to figure things out on your own. You will work closely with founders who have built successful recruitment desks themselves and understand what it takes to succeed. The focus here is on quality conversations, not just activity. You will learn how to communicate with credibility and build the foundations of a high-performing desk.

Why This Role, Why Now

We are in a growth phase where demand for our services is increasing across both private and public sector clients. We already deliver strong results for existing partners, but to grow further we need to consistently open new relationships.

This role is a direct investment in that growth. It gives you the chance to join at a stage where your contribution will be visible, while still benefiting from structure and support.

What You Will Do

• Identify and research target organisations across health and social care
• Prospect via phone, email and LinkedIn to engage hiring managers

• Book qualified meetings

• Build and manage a pipeline of potential clients

• Learn market trends and client challenges

What Good Looks Like in 3–6 Months

Within your first few months, you will be confidently speaking with hiring managers and booking consistent, qualified meetings. You will understand how the market works, where the opportunities sit and how to position Apricus Resourcing effectively. You will also start to see the direct impact of your work through new client relationships being formed.

What We Are Looking For

• Strong communication skills and confidence speaking with new people
• Resilience and a willingness to handle rejection
• A genuine interest in building a career in recruitment
• High standards and a strong work ethic
• Coachable mindset and openness to feedback

Why Join Us

At Apricus, you will get direct exposure to experienced founders who are still hands-on in the business. You will learn how recruitment really works, not just follow a script. We operate in a market that has consistent demand and real social impact, supporting organisations that deliver essential services.

• Direct mentoring from high billing founders
• Autonomy within your desk
• Transparent progression pathway
• Small team with big ambition
• Training from external providers
• Clear progression pathway
• Uncapped Commission
• Easy to understand commission structure

• You’ll be rewarded for your results

Location and Mobility

This role is office-based initially to support learning and development. After successfully completing probation, a hybrid working model will be introduced.
