Job description

We're hiring | Permanent Delivery Consultant - Education

We're growing our Education business and are looking for a Permanent Delivery Consultant who thrives in a fast‑paced, delivery‑led environment and knows how to turn qualified roles into successful placements.

This is a pure delivery role. You'll receive live, qualified vacancies from our sales team, take ownership of role qualification, and lead the search and selection of the right education professionals to deliver results for our clients.

The role:

• Receive permanent education roles from the sales team and run a thorough qualification call to fully understand the brief, context, and success criteria.
• Translate client needs into a clear search strategy and deliver high‑quality shortlists.
• Influence and advise hiring managers through the process, setting expectations and driving outcomes.
• Manage and prioritise multiple roles in a fast‑moving, deadline‑driven environment.
• Lead the delivery process end‑to‑end, supported by two Talent Advisers who will assist with sourcing and candidate engagement.

What we're looking for:

• Permanent recruitment experience in Education.
• Strong experience in role qualification and understanding what "good" really looks like for a client.
• Proven ability to influence, challenge constructively, and manage stakeholders.
• Comfortable working at pace, juggling multiple priorities without dropping standards.
• A delivery‑first mindset with high attention to detail and follow‑through.
• Experience in education recruitment is an advantage, but strong delivery skills are essential.

If you're a delivery consultant who enjoys qualifying properly, influencing outcomes, and delivering at pace, we'd love to hear from you.
