The firm

Deep inside knowledge.
Executive-level delivery.

"Jenkins & Blenheim is a specialist healthcare search and talent advisory boutique. We headhunt exceptional clinical leaders across the NHS, private healthcare, and pharma — and we rebuild the underlying recruitment infrastructure that stops organisations from finding them. We have done both inside healthcare operations, not just alongside them."

Standard agency recruiters know how to process job specs. We understand how healthcare organisations actually operate — navigating internal governance, consultant clinical agendas, and CQC regulatory compliance demands. General consultancies charge £1,500/day to analyse what we intuitively understand from lived experience.

Who we work with

Three markets. One firm fluent across all of them.

The rare ability to step into an NHS Trust board, an independent oncology centre, or a global pharmaceutical corporation in the same week — and speak each unique operational language.

NHS & public sector

High consultant vacancy rates, complex governance structures, and deep dependency on specialist boutique networks. We navigate the administrative mechanics that volume agencies cannot.

Independent & private healthcare

Fast commercial decisions, operating theatre pressure, and clean credentialing requirements. Our primary sweet spot — from group hospital operators to PE-backed healthcare businesses post-acquisition.

Pharma & med-tech

Rare hybrid talent pools — Medical Affairs Managers, Medical Directors, Scientific Advisors — requiring deep industry literacy and a candidate briefing process that drives dropouts to zero.

The edge

What no competitor can replicate

Operational credibility

Lived enterprise experience building governance and recruitment pipelines inside private hospital frameworks under real executive pressure.

Candidate briefing depth

Full fluency in sessional structures, medical job planning, practising privileges criteria, and NHS/Private split schedules.

Dual market literacy

Equally at home in NHS Trust boardrooms, independent oncology centres, and global pharmaceutical corporations.

Methodology proof of concept

Existing SOPs, interview frameworks, and clinical trials function as live productised assets — not hypothetical proposals.

High-pressure EQ

Seasoned history navigating resistant consultants, overstretched HR directors, and critical Medical Boards.

LLB + CIPD Level 5

Legal background combined with strategic HR training — fluent in employment contract law, complex negotiations, and advisory interactions.
