Recruitment Consultant

Overview

We’re on the lookout for an ambitious, driven Recruitment Consultant to join our team. You’ll be finding, attracting and matching brilliant candidates to roles in our client schools and provisions.

This role is all about great communication, determination and doing things the right way – our way – with honesty, transparency and fairness at the heart of everything we do.

Whether you\’re an experienced Recruitment Consultant or someone looking to start a rewarding career in education recruitment, we want to hear from you!

For Experienced Consultants

You’ll hit the ground running, using your expertise to manage existing clients while also developing new business. We’ll support you to build on your success and grow your desk, with plenty of autonomy and opportunity for progression.
