Georgie Lamberth - Recruitment Consultant
I moved into recruitment after working in sales for a few years, and what drew me to Next Phase Recruitment specifically is the dynamic and innovative environment, coupled with its solutions-driven approach to helping companies and candidates navigate the evolving life science landscape.
What I also love is the mix of social events with work which creates a lively, fun and collaborative atmosphere that makes each day more engaging and enjoyable. Paired with highly rewarding incentives which boost morale, encouraging everyone to be more creative, stay motivated, and work toward shared success.

Jude Southon - Recruitment Consultant
Since I have been with Next Phase, I felt very welcomed from the start, thanks to a meeting with all the consultants where I learned about their areas of expertise. The training was superb, covering all areas and allowing ample opportunities to revisit topics I found challenging. It was well-paced, avoiding being overwhelmed.
The benefits are excellent, with a fair commission structure that rewards hard work. There are plenty of opportunities to earn added benefits, such as during sales day activities where I even won an extra day’s holiday. The team regularly organises nights out and team-building activities every few weeks or months, making a team feel I hadn't experienced in previous roles. The incentives promote hard work, as we all strive to hit the benchmarks for the six-month incentive for example.
The leadership at Next Phase is supportive and knowledgeable, while still allowing responsibility over my own desk.
Working in Life Sciences is incredibly fulfilling, knowing that the companies we work with have a real-world impact on people's lives. The community feel in the office is something I appreciate the most, with everyone looking out for each other and offering help even when it's not requested. Joining Next Phase means making a significant mark in life science recruitment, supported by a leadership team dedicated to building the best consultants with clear progression pathways from day one. I particularly love the potential for career growth, as working alongside more experienced consultants continually benefits my development.

Ollie Gearing - Principal Recruitment Consultant
I get to work with innovative clients within life sciences and the top 1% of candidates within ML/SW/Computational Sciences.
We have a great benefits package and generous commission structure. The best part of working at Next Phase is working alongside a team that makes me want to come to work everyday rather than working at home. We do really all get along brilliantly and always have so much fun at all the social events.
There is exceptional training on offer if needed and the leaders are always available to offer support and advice.
And the best part....I have made enough money to buy my own house!
