Job description

Managing Recruitment Consultant – Education

Milk Education | Leeds

WARM DESKS | EXISTING REVENUE | HUGE GROWTH POTENTIAL

Are you currently working at Senior or Principal level and ready to level up?

Maybe you're ready to take that next step into management, put your own stamp on a desk and start building your own team.

At Milk Education, we're looking for an experienced Senior or Principal Education Recruiter who is ready for their next challenge — someone with the ambition to take ownership, build something of their own and make a genuine impact across the education sector.

You'll have access to warm desk opportunities, existing revenue and established relationships across our Primary, Secondary and SEND divisions, giving you the platform to hit the ground running and build from there.

This isn't about coming in and starting from scratch.

It's about taking what you already know, having the freedom to put your own stamp on things, grow your market and ultimately build your own team.

And the opportunities? They're limitless.

Why Milk Education?

We're a proudly independent education recruitment business that's grown from 4 offices to 9 nationwide in just a few years — and we're nowhere near finished.

We're passionate about developing our people, creating genuine career opportunities and giving ambitious recruiters the platform to build something they can truly be proud of.

If you've already proven yourself as a successful Senior or Principal Consultant, we're ready to give you the autonomy, support and opportunity to take that next step.

The Role

As a Managing Recruitment Consultant, you'll take commercial ownership of an established education market, driving growth while playing an important role within our wider Leeds team.

You'll be responsible for:

• Taking ownership of and growing an existing warm desk.
• Managing and developing established school relationships.
• Identifying and winning new business opportunities.
• Sourcing, interviewing and placing education professionals.
• Growing revenue and maximising the potential of your market.
• Building strong relationships with clients and candidates.
• Sharing knowledge and best practice across the branch.
• Developing your own team as you grow.
• Delivering an exceptional recruitment service from start to finish.

We're looking for someone with education recruitment experience, commercial drive and ambition — but most importantly, someone who wants to progress, build and make their mark.

What You’ll Get

• Highly competitive commission structure & Big Biller bonuses
• Clear progression with no glass ceiling
• Industry-leading training and development
• Birthday leave & charity day
• Team socials, annual company events, office dogs and bar stations!
