Healthcare & Life Sciences team

Medical inflation, regulatory pressure, technology and automation adoption, supply chain disruption and internalization, skills shortages and environment, social and corporate governance. These are just a few of the significant challenges for the healthcare sector, meanwhile the life sciences industry faces its own issues including the rapid transition of new discoveries to industrial manufacture.

Green Park’s Healthcare & Life Sciences team brings many years of experience helping orgnisations develop their leadership team, culture and organisational design to lead their business through times of challenge, growth and transformation. Our Healthcare & Life Sciences clients trust our ability to deliver timely, results-focussed initiatives, implemented with the very highest standards of customer service. We help organisations to find expert talent for niche roles, enhance their brand reputations and build greater inclusivity.

Delivering interim management and executive recruitment at the very highest level, we take a long-term approach we lead organisations to the cutting edge of innovation by building relationships and teams that unite shared values and celebrate diversity of thought. Meanwhile, our Leadership and Diversity, Inclusion, Culture & Ethics Consultancy teams help empower Healthcare & Life Sciences leaders to reach their full potential, working closely with our clients as a trusted and strategic partner to increase productivity, innovation and efficiencies, to support growth and greater patient outcomes.

Providing A Healthy Choice Of Experienced Candidates

Healthcare and life sciences organisations face talent acquisition challenges given the relatively small number of experts available for senior roles who tend to make career moves less frequently. And although the sector, in general, is relatively diverse at senior levels, there are many opportunities to extend inclusivity.

We tap into tightly-knit networks of sector experts, as well as broader pools of cross-sector functional expertise, to create inclusive candidate shortlists that include the next generation of innovators and thought leaders in their specialist fields. Our track record in recruitment spans a range of roles, including niche and emerging areas, such as bio-engineering and pharmacology.

With our global reach, we access talent in countries that are rapidly developing their excellence in this sector, including India and Indonesia. We find leaders who set new standards and are making impressive breakthroughs across healthcare and life sciences, including in support services, bio-engineering and pharmacology, as well as those driving innovative developments in distribution and sales.

Robust Processes and Tactful Approach

Making career moves in this sector can be a sensitive process that usually includes onerous confidentiality requirements. Acting with great tact in our approach with both clients and candidates, we have been able to build trust and credibility across our network.

Our proven methodologies provide transparent results, combining flexibility and innovation with detailed communication and reporting. Our robust processes ensure clients have a complete and accurate view of how the recruitment initiative is progressing. Our diligent approach to candidate assessment has positioned Green Park as the partner of choice for Healthcare & Life Sciences organisations looking to reduce their risk and optimise the benefit of hiring a permanent executive or senior interim manager.

For international roles, our multilingual team of experienced researchers is nimble at placing candidates at clients with globally mobile workforces. This is particularly important given the competition for talent, particularly in private medical groups and providers of senior living services.

Testimonials

"Working with Paul Bullock starts off with a heavy interview, where he basically gains as much insight into your business as possible so he not only selects the correct group of people to interview, but also sells your business to make sure all parties understand the opportunities. Every time I work with Paul he has delivered."

Chief Commercial Officer, Orla Keily

“Jo Sweetland and her team at Green Park were fantastic during the search and interview process. They provided excellent communication with deep attentiveness and walked me through the process providing keen insights along the way. I felt very supported to ensure a smooth, seamless and professional experience with Jo.”

Regional Head of Property @International Schools Partnerships Ltd

From start to finish, Juliet Hardingham and the Executive Search Team at Green Park were exceptional. Juliet took the time to understand the role and our organisation, delivering a strong, diverse shortlist for our Head of Government Relations and External Affairs. Her professionalism, insights, and clear communication confirmed we had chosen the right partner.

James Greenhill

Head of Global Executive Resourcing @Jacobs

David Sayers and the Private & Commercials team have for sure, been one of the best recruiting teams to work with throughout this process. The interviews were scheduled in quick succession, and I was kept in the loop throughout the hiring process. The feedback loop was smooth, and I never felt any hiccups in the process, despite there being an 8-hour time zone difference. Thank you for your support!

Uma Deepak

Senior Finance Business Partner @International Schools Partnership

We worked with Green Park to swiftly hire an interim Head of Operations. Simon Pickerell from the Executive Interim team was outstanding - he quickly understood our needs, delivered a strong and diverse shortlist over the festive period, and supported both us and the candidates throughout. Thanks to Simon, we’ve hired an experienced Head of Operations who’s a great cultural fit. Highly recommend Simon and Green Park.

"Green Park's proposal had diversity at the heart, rather than just an add on - and this gave us confidence that in working with them we would be partnering with an organisation who held the same values as our own in this area."

Claire Burles

Group People Director | Stage Coach

"Jo Sweetland of Green Park is just the best. She absolutely IS Green Park. Hard working. Super smart and understands a client’s needs. Jo has deep market relationships and superb networks. She sets the benchmark for Search in the recruitment industry. I would never hesitate to recommend Jo Sweetland to anyone. A delight to work with BUT more importantly brings the best results."

Matthew Jeffery

Head of UKI Recruitment | EY

“Working with Green Park made this important and potentially challenging appointment process smooth and easy to navigate. The recruitment professionals that they assigned to the project communicated consistently and articulately with the variety of different stakeholders involved in the process; they were sensitive but did not steer away from being honest about the difficult realities involved in this recruitment campaign which resulted in expectations being expertly managed and trust being embedded. I would highly recommend Green Park for senior executive search campaigns, especially in the culture and creative industry.”
