Job description

Education Recruitment Consultant – Join Our Flourishing Team!

Are you an experienced recruiter or an ex-teacher ready for an exciting new challenge? Flourish Education Recruitment is looking for a passionate and driven Primary Education Recruitment Consultant to join our well-established primary division.

This is a fantastic opportunity to inherit an existing warm desk and work with a team that’s supportive, slightly bonkers, and completely dedicated to making a difference in the education sector.

About the Role

As a Education Recruitment Consultant, you’ll:

• Work within our established primary team, developing relationships with candidates and clients across the region.
• Deliver a consultative approach, ensuring we place the best candidates in the right roles.
• Attract and source new candidates, building long-term relationships.
• Proactively engage with new and existing schools to grow your desk.
• Regularly visit clients to foster great relationships – a full UK driving license and car are essential.
• Meet and exceed key business goals individually and as part of the team.

What You’ll Need

We’re looking for someone with either:

• Recruitment experience (education recruitment is ideal but not essential), or
• Teaching experience, with a passion for making a difference in the education sector.

You’ll also need:

• A full UK driving license (and car).
• A proactive, client-focused approach with a drive to succeed.
• A confident and ethical approach to building relationships.
• Excellent communication skills – especially over the phone.
• A high attention to detail and the confidence to ask for help when needed.

Why Join Flourish?

We’re big on growth, accountability, and celebrating success. With our ambitious plans for the future, we’re committed to supporting your development every step of the way.

Our Education Recruitment Consultants enjoy:

• Competitive starting salary: £26,000 - £30,000 depending on experience, with realistic OTE of £40,000+ within 18-24 months (uncapped commission from day 1).
• Flexible working: 4.5-day workweek (after probation), reduced hours during school holidays (8am-3pm), and the option to work 1 day from home.
• Generous holidays: 36 days, including 3 weeks off during summer holidays.
• Health and wellness perks: Vitality health insurance, mental health support, and discounted gym memberships.
• Team culture: Regular team days out, awards, recognition, and a supportive, fun atmosphere.
• Professional development: Clear progression plans, annual pay reviews, and ongoing training.
