Teaching Personnel - Education Recruitment Consultant

This isn't your average recruitment job.

At Teaching Personnel, we're looking for ambitious, driven individuals to join our Cornwall 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.

What You'll Need

• Full UK Driving Licence and access to your own vehicle - regular school visits (minimum once per week) are an essential part of the role; fuel is reimbursed on the mile.
• Sales experience - ideally from agency recruitment, B2B, or B2C sales backgrounds, but we will consider proven sales ability that is transferrable into this role.
• Target-driven mindset - you'll thrive in a high-performance culture and be motivated by hitting goals and making an impact.
• Resilience and tenacity - recruitment is challenging, so we need proactive, solution-focused individuals who are not afraid to pick up the phone and meet clients in person to build lasting partnerships.
• People Centricity - ability to build rapport quickly with stakeholders across the education sector.
• Balance Reactivity with Proactivity - knowing when to respond immediately and when to plan long-term strategies.

What's in it for you?

• Uncapped Commission - earn more as you deliver results.
• Generous Holiday Allowance - starting at 28 days, rising to 33 with service, plus bank holidays.
• Incentives & Rewards - cash bonuses, prize draws, annual awards, and team events.
• Top-Class Training - ongoing mentoring and structured development.
• Career Progression - clear routes to promotion within the UK's top education recruiter.
• Flexible Benefits - including health cash plans, virtual GP, cycle to work schemes, and more.

What You'll Be Doing

• Winning Business - making outbound calls, pitching services, and visiting schools.
• Building Relationships - establishing trust with schools and educators.
• Sourcing Talent - finding and vetting educators to match with schools.
• Managing a Desk - hitting revenue and activity targets, developing your commercial skills, and earning commissions.
• Making an Impact - supporting schools to improve classroom outcomes.

Is This You?

• Experienced in sales or recruitment with a proven track record.
• Confident, persuasive, and results-driven.
• Eager to develop a career with company support.
• Owns a car and enjoys face-to-face client meetings.
