Job Description Senior Recruitment Consultant - Education Build London's next leading education recruitment desk with Reed's Education division Salary: £32k-£40k basic salary + uncapped bonus Location: London (hybrid working available once you're up to speed) Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

This isn't just another education recruitment role. Most education recruitment opportunities offer you a small geographic patch and ask you to compete in an already saturated market. This role is different. We're looking for an ambitious and experienced Education Recruitment Consultant to drive growth across the whole of London. With London's education market continuing to evolve, there is significant scope to establish new client partnerships, deepen existing relationships and create a desk that genuinely reflects your strengths and expertise. If you're the kind of recruiter who is motivated by building something substantial rather than simply maintaining what's already there, you'll find a unique opportunity waiting for you at Reed.

Why Reed?

Reed Education has been supporting schools, colleges and education providers for over 25 years and is one of the UK's most recognised recruitment brands.

• A respected name that opens doors with decision-makers.
• Access to an extensive candidate database and recruitment technology.
• Dedicated compliance, marketing, onboarding and operational support.
• Industry-leading training and leadership development.
• Clear, transparent career progression with opportunities to move into senior leadership roles.
• Uncapped earning potential with no ceiling on success.

What you'll be doing

This is a role for a recruiter who enjoys winning business, building relationships and developing a market.

• Develop new partnerships with schools, MATs, colleges and educational organisations across London.
• Grow revenue through both new business acquisition and account expansion.
• Build and nurture a high-quality network of teaching and non-teaching professionals.
• Deliver consultative recruitment solutions to education leaders.
• Attend client meetings across London and position Reed as a trusted recruitment partner.
• Manage the full recruitment lifecycle from business development through to placement.
• Drive your own strategy and identify opportunities across multiple education sectors.

What we're looking for

We're interested in ambitious recruiters who understand the education market and want a bigger platform to grow.

• Proven success within education recruitment.
• A track record of developing new business and growing client relationships.
• Strong commercial awareness and a consultative approach.
• The confidence to engage senior stakeholders and school leaders.
• A genuine ambition to build a high-performing desk and maximise your earnings.

What you can expect

• Competitive salary and uncapped earning potential.
• Industry-leading recruitment technology and support.
• Personal development funding and access to Reed Courses.
• Incentive schemes including luxury holidays, vouchers and high-value rewards.
• Health cash plan, wellbeing support and discounts on gym membership, shopping etc.
• The opportunity to shape and grow a significant London education desk with long-term career progression.
• Make your mark on London's education market.

There are very few opportunities where you can combine the backing of an established national brand with the freedom to develop business across one of the largest education markets in the UK. If you're an experienced education recruiter looking for a role with genuine growth potential, greater autonomy and the opportunity to build something meaningful, we'd love to hear from you.

All job offers are subject to satisfactory references and compliance with vetting requirements applicable to the job role.
