Business development manager - Hospitality Recruitment - Berkeley Scott Limited - London
We are looking for a pro-active business development manager to help drive our fast growing business. We provide temporary staffing for various catering and hospitality businesses across Central London and want to bring in a motivated sales person to generate new opportunities within our market. You will be responsible for identifying, contacting and converting new clients and opportunities. You will also be helping to convert lapsed clients and help strengthen relationships with existing clients. As one of the senior members of the team you will be expected to help our consultants. The ideal candidate will have a strong knowledge of the hospitality industry. A background in recruitment isn’t necessary – however a knowledge of catering and ability to sell are essential. The role would suit an experienced recruiter who prefers the sales aspect of the job, or someone with a background in sales for a catering supplier, such as food or linen. We can teach you about our business but you will need to have a good understanding of the hospitality industry to succeed. The role requires you to be a self-starter and motivated to get out in front of clients as much as possible. You will be targeted on the new business brought in so you will need to be confident about sitting in front of clients and pitching our services. We can offer a strong basic salary depending on experience and an attractive bonus scheme. There are also regular incentives including lunch at a top restaurant or an all-expenses paid trip abroad – the last two were Cyprus and St Anton!

Recruiter
We are growing! WorkForce Cyprus have a fantastic opportunity for a Recruiter to either set off or expand on their career. If you have some experience under your belt and buckets of drive, creativity and ambition keep reading….
Unlike other organisations where decisions are made in some swanky office in London or Limassol and the bulk of the work is done elsewhere, at WorkForce Cyprus we have a small office where all projects are worked on and decisions are made. In other words you’re at the heart of it all.
Our team works towards the same goal –find the best candidate for our client and offer outstanding service to all. If you think you can play a key role in our development, keep reading. Our philosophy is that we do the small things well; so if something is broken, we fix it, if something can be done better, we do it.
What you need:
- You’re awesome at developing relationships with people. We would like you to have at least 2 years in a Sales or client facing role. If you’re great at talking, but you don’t have two years’ experience, you can still apply
- You’re passionate about working with people, meeting deadlines and hitting targets
- You are good at following procedures and working to the basics. You will be creative and constantly find new ways to find the best candidates
- You have knowledge of HR and recruitment (this is good but not essential)
- You have a commitment to and experience with best practices in applicant sourcing, client management and problem solving
- You’re the communication King/Queen; you’re not afraid of picking up the phone and speaking to people at all levels across the globe. Fluent in English is a must. Greek is an advantage.
- You get a kick out of solving problems and demonstrate flexibility to work on complex and frustrating projects with an international scope.
What’s it like working here?
WorkForce Cyprus is a strong HR Brand offering total solutions to clients in the EMEA region.
If you’re looking for a boring 9-5 role then this isn’t the place for you. If you want lots of challenges, a long to do list and plenty of opportunities then we’re your kind of place. Like our service, we’re all super-fast and super reliable. We’re informal but productive. You’ll be expected to get through high volumes of work and to keep coming back looking for more. In return we like to mark record days or other occasions with impromptu surprises. Working at WorkForce gives you the opportunity to work with, and learn from genuinely passionate and driven people.
Like our customers, we are of an international mind set. We come from different cultures, speak different languages yet we all share one thing in common; we care about our client’s needs.
If you’re lucky enough to work here, you’ll get to work in a great office environment without a gimmicky music room or sleep area but with truly spectacular coffee. And the best bit……we don’t hire losers, only team players with a sense of humour.

As a member of staff, you will not only be part of one the World’s top 20 Universities, but also part of one of the top employers in Edinburgh, with over 10,000 people spread across a wide range of academic and supporting roles.
The College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine (http://www.mvm.ed.ac.uk/)
The College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, is headed by Professor Sir John Savill; who is also the Head of the Medical School. The Medical School in Edinburgh can trace its origins back nearly 500 years (Darwin, Simpson and Conan-Doyle were students here) and is internationally renowned for its research and teaching. The existing qualifications for undergraduates are amongst the most competitive in the UK.
The academic disciplines within Medicine are largely concentrated in the two teaching hospitals in Edinburgh, namely the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh at Little France (RIE) and the Western General Hospital (WGH). The new RIE was recently constructed on a green field site under a Private Finance Initiative (completed 2002). It is a state-of-the-art multi-speciality hospital linked with the Medical School which is housed in two purpose built teaching and research facilities, the Chancellor’s Building and the Queen’s Medical Research Institute providing the accommodation and facilities required for the majority of the clinical students and associated academic clinical staff previously located at the old Royal Infirmary in central Edinburgh.
The Western General Hospital (WGH) has also undergone major redevelopment of its clinical research and teaching facilities. The Molecular Medicine Centre (£5m) was opened in 1995, a new Wellcome Millennial Clinical Research Facility (£4m; joint development between the Wellcome Trust, University and Lothian Health), a £40m new clinical wing, the Anne Ferguson Building, and a new Medical Education Centre (£1m) were opened in 2001, and a new Cancer Research Building (£7m) in 2002. The University (through its Medical School) and Lothian Health work in close collaboration to ensure the co-ordination of the Health Board’s Integrated Health Care Plan for Lothian with the University’s teaching and research plans.
RAE 2008
In RAE 2008, the College submitted to three Units of Assessment, reflecting cross-centre working in physical or virtual institutes. Across the College, just under 70% of staff can be considered to have been working at the internationally excellent (3*) level or above.
The College was placed first of 28 submissions in the UK in Hospital-Based Clinical Subjects, submitting 162 staff, predominantly from the Queen’s Medical Research Institute (Cardiovascular Science, Inflammation Research, Regenerative Medicine and Reproductive Biology including the MRC Human Reproductive Sciences Unit) and the Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine (Molecular Medicine, MRC Human Genetics Unit, Cancer Research and Population Health Sciences/Primary Care). All staff were at the international level with 80% of the submission at the internationally excellent (3*, 40%) or world-leading level (4*, 40%).
The College was placed fourth in Agriculture, Veterinary and Food Science, but this was the best placed submission including a Vet School and delivered the largest volume of 4* research in the whole UK, with 111 staff from the Roslin Institute, Centre for Infectious Diseases and the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies.
The College was sixth in the UK in Psychiatry, Neuroscience and Clinical Psychology, submitting 92 staff from Edinburgh Neuroscience, a virtual institute incorporating the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences, the Centre for Cognitive and Neural Systems, the Centre for Neuroregeneration Research and the Centre for Integrative Physiology.
The Division of Clinical Neurosciences (M&CM)
The Division of Clinical Neurosciences (DCN) is a department in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Edinburgh. It was formed in 1986 by the amalgamation of the Departments of Surgical and Medical Neurology. In 1988 the unified department was brought together on the Western General Hospital site.
Currently, the NHS Clinical Neuroscience service is based at the Western General Hospital (WGH) although there are services at other hospitals including the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (RIE). In 2017, there will be a relocation of the NHS departments to newly built accommodation on the RIE site. The academic Clinical Neuroscience department has already relocated to the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences (CCBS) on the RIE site.
Following the appointment of the University’s first Professor of Medical Neurology in 1987 (Professor Charles Warlow), there has been a considerable expansion in personnel, in both the NHS and Clinical Academic departments. The current Head of CCBS is Professor Siddharthan Chandran.
All the NHS consultant staff have part time appointments as senior lecturers or are honorary senior lecturers.
Introduction and Background
The identification of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) as one of the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies led to speculation that transmission to humans might occur. The Department of Health provided funding for the prospective surveillance of CJD and the project started on the 1st of May 1990 under the supervision of Professor R G Will. Data on the epidemiology, clinical features and risk factors in CJD were obtained for comparison with previous studies. In 1996, a new variant of CJD (now designated vCJD) was reported and the evidence is that vCJD is indeed BSE transmitted to humans.
The National CJD Surveillance Project continues in the UK with the identification of human prion disease, including all forms of CJD. Because of the potentially long incubation period in spongiform encephalopathies, surveillance of CJD is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
The primary function of the National CJD Research & Surveillance Unit (NCJDRSU) is the surveillance of CJD within the UK. However, there are a number of associated research projects including EU-funded, international collaborations involving these countries: Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Israel, Norway, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Sweden, Austria, China, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Latvia, Cyprus, Slovenia, Estonia, Argentina, Mexico, Japan, Czech Republic and the USA.
The NCJDRSU is a WHO Reference Centre for TSEs and the reporting hub for vCJD for the European Centre for Disease
Prevention and Control (ECDC).
In the UK approximately 150 referrals of suspect CJD cases are made to the unit each year. A proportion of these cases turn out to be illnesses other than CJD. The incidence of sporadic CJD in the UK is around 1 per million per year and the total number of confirmed UK cases of vCJD since 1996 is 178 (as of April 2016).
The research will involve the prospective identification of cases of CJD in order to obtain detailed clinical and epidemiological information. Cases throughout the UK are identified by direct referral from neurologists, neurophysiologists, neuropathologists and occasionally other clinicians.
All death certificates coded under the appropriate rubrics are forwarded by the appropriate authorities in the UK so that cases not directly notified will nonetheless be identified. In addition, some cases are referred by neuropathologists.
The current Director of the Unit is Professor Richard Knight. Clinical aspects of surveillance are overseen by Professors Richard Knight and Bob Will. Professor James Ironside is responsible for Neuropathological aspects of surveillance.
Duties of the Post
The Research Registrar assesses the notifications of cases with advice from Professor Knight and Professor Will. Where appropriate, they will visit referred cases throughout the UK in order to obtain clinical and epidemiological information. A standard questionnaire and protocol is used. Information is obtained from the referring hospital and clinicians, the medical records and the relevant relatives. The Research Registrar is also responsible for conducting a neurological examination.
In cases referred after death, where appropriate, arrangements are made to visit the relatives to obtain direct information.
During the visits, copies of relevant medical records are obtained and appropriate investigations (in particular the EEG and MR Imaging) are reviewed. Wherever possible, permission is obtained for further investigations.
The duties involve a considerable amount of travel.
At present, the Research Registrar is normally appointed for two years.
Requirements for the Post
1. Medically qualified practitioner (essential)
2. MRCP (essential)
3. Previous neurological experience (desirable).
The NCJDRSU And Other Aspects Of Research In Edinburgh
The Research Registrar is supervised by two Consultant Neurologists, Professor R G Will and Professor R S G Knight, both of whom are contracted to spend 50% of their time in the Unit. The neuropathological confirmation of CJD is an essential component of the study and there is a dedicated Department of Health laboratory within the Unit run by Professor J W Ironside. There is an active research programme within the laboratory side including research fellows.
The Unit is also involved in many national and international collaborative projects with regard to CJD and TSE (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy) research.
Aside from gaining an understanding of the clinical and epidemiological features of CJD, the Research Registrar will have the opportunity to be involved in a wide variety of research projects including the evaluation of diagnostic tests, genetics and molecular biology. During their attachment to the Unit, there are opportunities to gain understanding of the basic principles of clinical epidemiology, case control methodologies, the use of questionnaires in research, neuropathology and other related matters.
Epidemiological and public health aspects of CJD are supervised by Dr Anna Molesworth (Senior Epidemiologist). As part of the attachment to the Unit, there will be training support from Dr Molesworth covering the basic principles of epidemiology and statistics, with particular reference to CJD. During the course of the project, the Research Registrar will gain considerable experience in the assessment of dementias and encephalopathies.
The successful candidate may be involved in the European Collaborative Projects. Attendance at some of the international meetings may be required.
During the attachment, there will be opportunities to gain particular experience in other areas relevant to the National Training Programme in Neurology, for example Neuropathology. There will also be opportunities to gain experience in computer skills, including the use of databases, presentation skills and the preparation of publications. The Registrar will have opportunities to gain clinical experience in general neurology via an outpatients clinic on a fortnightly basis and there are possibilities of occasional on-call commitment, if desired.
Location and NCJDRSU Staff
The post is currently based at the National CJD Research & Surveillance Unit which is situated in the Bryan Matthews Building on the Western General Hospital site. However, there is a planned relocation of the Unit to the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences (CCBS) at the RIE (Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh) site. The first phase of this relocation is projected to begin in June 2016, with a currently uncertain completion date. Most of the academic clinical neuroscience department has already relocated to the RIE site and the NHS clinical neuroscience department will relocate from the WGH to the RIE in 2017 (into a new hospital building, currently under construction).
The National CJD Research & Surveillance Unit is the base for UK surveillance of CJD and associated activities and research. The Surveillance Unit currently comprises a set of offices and laboratory facilities presently within one dedicated building, but with planned relocation as already described. The Director of the National Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Research & Surveillance Unit is Professor Richard Knight and the Deputy Director is Dr Mark Head. The Unit is funded by the Department of Health and the Scottish Government Health Department and holds several large grants. The Unit also co-ordinates an international collaborative surveillance group, is a WHO collaborative centre for Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, and is a reporting hub for vCJD for the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
The principal activity of the Unit is surveillance of CJD within the United Kingdom. This involves the identification of cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease of all types and the collection of relevant epidemiological, clinical and pathological data. The Unit undertakes a great deal of associated clinical, epidemiological and neuropathological research. There are currently 33 members of staff within the Unit. The Unit employs two senior neurologists, Professor Robert Will and Professor Richard Knight. Each of these neurologists works half-time within the Unit and Professor Knight also works half-time in clinical activities in Lothian NHS.
Other staff within the Unit include: Professor James Ironside (Neuropathology), Dr Anna Molesworth (Senior Epidemiologist), Ms Jan Mackenzie (UK Study Co-ordinator for the Unit) and two neurology research registrars (this post being one of the two) for UK surveillance.
Further staff include a CSF Chemist, a Protein Chemist, a Database Manager, Neuropathology and Laboratory staff, a European Collaborative Study Co-ordinator and a number of administrative and secretarial staff.
Two senior nurses are employed within the Unit supporting the National Care Package with primary responsibility for providing advice and care for patients with CJD.
