• Previous experience in education recruitment is highly desirable (but not essential if you've got the drive and commercial edge).


• A proactive, pioneering mindset - someone who thrives on autonomy, ownership, and building lasting relationships.


• A confident communicator with a proven track record in sales, business development or account management.


• A natural people-person who genuinely cares about placing the right candidates into schools where they can make a difference.

What you'll be doing

• Developing and maintaining relationships with schools and candidates across Greater Manchester.


• Managing the full recruitment cycle - from sourcing and screening to placement and beyond.


• Driving business growth through new school partnerships and candidate pipelines.


• Contributing to the success and culture of a fast-growing Manchester branch.

Why join us

• Competitive basic salary + uncapped commission.


• Ongoing training, development, and career progression.


• Supportive, ambitious team culture where your ideas genuinely shape how we grow.


• The chance to be part of something new - not just another cog in the machine.


• Work from home day every Wednesday


• Accelerated comms once you hit target and an extra work from home day of your choice


• Reduced working hours during all the school holidays

If you've got the hunger to build, the creativity to grow, and the grit to succeed - we want to hear from you.
