Education Recruitment Consultant

This isn’t your average recruitment job. At Teaching Personnel, we’re looking for ambitious, driven individuals to join our Bristol team in a role that blends sales, recruitment, and education into something genuinely impactful.

As the UK’s market-leading education recruitment agency, we don’t just match educators to jobs - we drive business, build long-term partnerships with schools, and create opportunities that transform lives. This role is fast-paced, sales-targeted, and hands-on - and we need people who can thrive under pressure, deliver results, and build exceptional client relationships both in person and over the phone.

Whether you come from agency recruitment, B2B/B2C sales, or a high-performance target-led environment, if you’re confident in a consultative sales role and hungry to succeed, we want to hear from you.

Bristol Region. Sitting within the wider Teaching Personnel team, we are a nimble and energetic team of 8. We love working together and welcoming new colleagues, who are always supported to learn and develop as they begin an exciting new chapter within their career. We are straight talkers and value open and fluid communication - it is our strong belief that everyone’s thoughts and ideas count in our journey of continuous improvement. We work hard, but we also have fun and celebrate our successes. We are currently looking to recruit someone to work with our Bristol Primary Team, working with the Primary schools in and around Bristol.
