An exciting opportunity has arisen for someone with ambition and drive to join our growing team in London as a Sales Development Rep!

You will need to be resilient with a friendly and professional telephone manner, as your first focus will be contacting potential customers to discuss our services and offerings.

This is a permanent position that offers real long term development opportunities and the chance to build a career within a rapidly growing organisation.

The role is essential to the business’s growth plans and as such you will receive a fantastic level of support and training to ensure you have all the knowledge and skills to be successful.

Ideally you will have previous sales experience, however the real key is having the right attitude and willingness to learn.

At Florence, we’re on a mission to be the number one tech provider for social care staffing.

Our marketplace app helps care workers book shifts without the need for recruitment agencies, and our training and rota platforms help users improve their professional development, save time and work smarter.

Launched in 2017, we work with 90,000+ nurses, carers and support workers, and more than 2000 care providers across the UK. Nurses and carers have worked over 2 million hours and earned more than £25 million by booking shifts through Florence.

We are a growing team of 200+, founded and led by a former doctor-turned-entrepreneur. With offices now across London, Glasgow & Birmingham, this is a really exciting time to join Florence and be part of a tech startup with a purpose.

THE ROLE

Florence works across nursing and residential care. We work with some of the largest care home groups in the UK. We are looking for people who can help us penetrate more of the care home sector, specifically the small and medium-sized care home groups.

To succeed in this role you will have a unique mix of hunger and motivation, and you will be excellent at building and maintaining relationships with care home managers and owners.

You will form part of a Florence region within the North of England and Scotland working closely with our Regional Managers and Customer Success Executives to grow your designated region and achieve team targets and goals, you will also have the support of the wider marketing team to ensure you have materials and content you need to sell effectively.

The commission structure is generous and uncapped. You will report directly to the Sales Team Manager based in the London office.

We work in a fast-paced startup environment that will suit dynamic and results-driven people. We look for people who love fresh challenges and have a logical data-driven way of solving them.

You may already have strong contacts from within the social care sector and be able to leverage those contacts immediately. Or you may be someone who is able to build and maintain contacts very quickly. Either way, we would like to hear from you.
