Heart of Supply is an education recruitment agency built on strong relationships, high standards, and consistency. We work closely with schools and educators to deliver reliable support and a service people genuinely trust.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building and maintaining strong relationships with schools through regular contact, visits, and service delivery
• Developing and growing your desk through proactive business development
• Registering, interviewing, and supporting candidates through compliance and placement

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven sales experience (recruitment, account management, business development, or another sales‑led role)
• Confidence picking up the phone and building relationships from scratch
• Strong organisation and time‑management skills
• A proactive, resilient mindset and the ability to manage a varied workload

• Someone who takes pride in their work and follows things through properly
• Comfortable working independently, while contributing positively to a close‑knit team
• A full UK driving licence (the role involves visiting schools across Lincolnshire)

Experience in education recruitment is helpful but not essential. What matters most is attitude, ambition, and the ability to build relationships.

• Competitive basic salary with realistic, achievable OTE and uncapped commission
• Autonomy to manage and grow your desk with clear expectations and support
