Scrub Nurse - Territory Manager – Manchester – Orthopaedic Sales – North West
Perfect for an Orthopaedic Nurse, Scrub Nurse, ODP or Theatre Practitioner ready to move into sales
This is a rare opportunity for an orthopaedic clinician who wants to step out of the theatre and into a high‑impact commercial role — without starting from scratch. You’ll be taking over a warm, well‑established extremities and trauma territory across the North West, with strong existing relationships and a portfolio that already has real momentum behind it.
You’ll be joining a clinically led organisation that values hands‑on orthopaedic experience just as much as commercial ability. They’re agile, supportive and deeply respected by surgical teams, and they’re looking for someone who understands the rhythm of the theatre, the pressures of trauma cases and the importance of being the calm, knowledgeable presence surgeons can rely on. What you don’t yet know commercially, they will train. What you already know clinically will set you apart from day one.
Your day will still revolve around the theatre, but in a new way. You’ll become the technical partner surgeons trust during foot and ankle trauma procedures, guiding them through complex cases and representing a portfolio known for its quality and performance. You’ll also step into the commercial side: protecting established business, identifying new opportunities, and growing the territory through genuine relationship‑building. You’ll move confidently through hospitals, engaging with surgeons, theatre managers, procurement teams and clinical leads, always with an eye on where the next opportunity sits.
You’ll take ownership of product evaluations, support conversions from first conversation through to procurement approval, and deliver high‑quality training sessions for scrub teams and nursing staff. Your ability to communicate clearly, stay composed under pressure and build rapport quickly will be central to your success.
To thrive here, you’ll bring a few years of orthopaedic theatre experience, whether as a Scrub Nurse, ODP, Theatre Practitioner or similar. Ideally with exposure to trauma, extremities or biologics. You’ll be completely at home in the operating theatre and able to command respect through your clinical knowledge and calm, assured communication. Full commercial experience isn’t essential; what matters is your drive, resilience and appetite to learn how to win in a competitive market. A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across the region are required.
In return, you’ll receive an excellent starting salary, a company car, phone, laptop, healthcare, income protection, pension and a suite of additional benefits. The company has also recently restructured to create clear, transparent progression pathways, something that genuinely sets them apart in a sector where development is often left to chance.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to transition from clinical practice into a commercial role, this is it. Opportunities like this move quickly, and waiting could mean missing out.
To discuss the role in more detail, contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and DeepTech Recruitment at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240. You can also submit your CV and a member of the team will be in touch to guide you through the next steps.....Read more...

REGISTERED MANAGER | MENTAL HEALTH RESIDENTIAL | BRISTOL | £40,000–£45,000
Mental health residential care at its best is transformative. At its worst, it's underfunded, and under-supported.
This is the former.
This is a 21-bed residential service for adults with mental health conditions and it has just achieved a clean Good rating across all five CQC key questions. That matters, because the journey to get there is worth knowing about.
Earlier assessments identified areas for improvement in safe care and governance. The provider acted. Medicines management was overhauled, governance strengthened, permanent staffing increased, and the team stabilised. When CQC returned in May 2025, the improvements were clear. One resident told inspectors: "The staff are a blessing. They've changed my life."
That's not a service in crisis. That's a service that knows how to put things right and has done.
Behind everything the service does sits a clinical infrastructure most providers can only dream of: an in-house psychologist, assistant psychologists and a PBS specialist trainer. You won't be making decisions in isolation. HR and finance are handled centrally too, which means your focus stays where it belongs on your team and the people in your care.
The home has real character. Gardens, a minibus for getting residents out into the community, a residents' kitchenette, and a pet-friendly environment that reflects the kind of homely, human ethos this organisation is built on. Close to local shops and public transport.
What's on offer:
£40,000–£45,000 depending on experience
6 weeks' paid holiday plus bank holidays
Paid two-week induction
Ongoing CPD and specialist training
Long service and recognition awards
Pension, sick pay and shopping discounts
What you'll need:
At least three years' experience as a Registered Manager
A solid background working with adults with mental health conditions and/or complex needs
Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care (or actively working toward it)
Confident, values-led leadership with strong CQC knowledge
A genuine commitment to least-restrictive, recovery-focused practice
Please note: This role is unable to offer visa sponsorship. You'll need the right to work in the UK independently.
Interested?
Apply with your CV, it doesn't need to be perfect. Or call us at Recruitment Panda for a confidential conversation first.

Registered Manager – Care at Home - Highlands
You're good at this. You know it. The rota shifts at 6am and you've already got it covered. A carer calls in sick on a Friday, a care plan needs updating before the morning run, a commissioner is chasing a report. You handle it, because you always do.
The question is whether the service you're doing it for deserves that.
This one might.
A well-established care at home service based around 14 miles north of Inverness is looking for a Registered Manager to take the reins and grow something worth growing.
It's a live, operational service delivering around 700 hours of care per week across a wide rural geography, with a clear, realistic plan to grow sustainably beyond 1,000. A team of 26 care practitioners is in place, a Care Coordinator and Team Leads are alongside you, and the infrastructure to build properly is there.
What the service needs is someone who brings more than a job title. Someone who understands that lone workers operating across remote Highland communities need more than a rota, they need a manager who sees them, supports them and sets the standard consistently.
This is what a strong week in this role looks like.
Care plans that reflect people's lives as they are today, not six months ago. Compliance that stands up to scrutiny and means something operationally. Supervision that staff actually benefit from rather than just tick off. Commissioner relationships built on reliability and honest communication. A service that grows because the quality earns it.
The Highland setting is unique. The geography demands logistics thinking and independence of judgement. If you've managed care at home in a rural area before, you'll recognise it immediately. If you haven't, the relocation support on offer, including open discussion around housing and temporary accommodation during your transition, makes the move more achievable than you might think.
Sponsorship may also be available for the right candidate with strong care at home experience.
Who you'll be working with and what that looks like in practice.
The Operations Manager you'd report into has spent her career at the sharp end of care at home. Former Operations Director for one of the Highlands' largest providers, and someone who has grown the Dingwall branch herself since taking it on. She's not a figurehead, she's operationally fluent, well-connected with commissioners, and genuinely invested in the right person succeeding.
That means real support. Not a check-in once a month and left to it. If there's a development area you want to build, clinical specialism, quality improvement, workforce strategy, there's appetite to back that properly, with protected time and resource.
Decisions that sit within operational delivery are yours to make. Budget sign-off sits higher in the business, which is worth knowing upfront. But day-to-day, you run the service.
The culture here is straightforward. Standards matter. The team are treated well, genuinely, not just on paper. And the expectation is that you build something stable enough that the people above you aren't worried when they're not in the office. That's the benchmark.
By the end of year one, success looks like this: care hours growing steadily toward 1,000, a team that's properly supervised and retained, an inspection outcome that reflects the quality of the work, and a commissioner relationship built on consistency. Growth beyond the single branch is a realistic longer-term conversation for the right person, but that starts with making this one the service it should be.
What will help you succeed:
Several years working within care at home services — not just social care more broadly
Registered Manager experience or a clear, credible route to registration
Confidence managing compliance, inspections and stakeholder relationships
A full UK driving licence
Qualifications being sought:
SCQF Level 9 in a health, social work or related field
Leadership and Management at SCQF Level 10 (or a committed plan to complete it)
SVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care — or readiness to move quickly toward it
A competitive salary is on offer, aligned to experience.
If your background is rooted in care at home and the Highlands feels like somewhere you could build a career, not just fill a vacancy, send your CV across. It doesn't need to be updated. A conversation costs nothing.
Or call Tim directly. He's the Principal Consultant working closely with this employer.
