Recruitment can change lives, when it’s done properly.
This Senior Recruitment Consultant role is for someone who wants their work to have real life impact within education.
You won’t just be filling roles or managing a desk, you’ll be helping place leaders into positions that shape education services, influence communities, and support people who rely on them most.
You’ll join us here at Baltimore Consulting, a consultancy built on purpose, trust and care. A place where people come first, where long‑term relationships matter more than quick wins, and where your success is measured by the difference you help create.

Our specialisms range across SEND, School Improvement, Behaviour & Virtual Schools, Educational Psychology, School Place Planning, Capital and School Admissions and School Transport.

- Building and owning a 360 desk within education, focused on senior interim and permanent appointments
- Acting as a trusted advisor to clients, shaped by market intelligence and genuine partnership
- Delivering end‑to‑end recruitment for roles carrying real responsibility and public impact
- Proactively mapping markets, engaging hard‑to‑reach candidates and developing new opportunities
- Working within a coaching‑first culture that prioritises quality, wellbeing and sustainable success
Who we’re looking for:
This role suits someone who believes recruitment should be values‑led, not volume‑driven.
- A proven background in 360 recruitment, with consistent billing and account growth
- Experience winning new business through credibility
- A consultative, people‑first approach and strong professional integrity
- A genuine drive to keep learning and to make a meaningful difference through your work
What you’ll find here:
We’ve designed an environment for people who want to do great work and do it well, for the long term:
- A clear, individual career development roadmap
- Uncapped commission that fairly reflects your contribution
