Job description

Nexter is a specialist recruitment agency supplying private day nurseries across West Yorkshire and London. While our Yorkshire operation is established and market-leading, our London desk represents our biggest commercial growth opportunity.

Supported by our dedicated London Business Development Manager and a high volume of inbound permanent requirements, we need a sharp, proactive Recruitment Consultant to take full ownership of the London desk from our Birstall office.

This role is ideal for a commercially driven recruiter who wants the upside of high-margin permanent fees while actively driving and scaling our temporary supply business across the capital.

What You Will Be Doing

• Temp Desk Fulfilment: Daily morning ring-rounds, managing incoming shift bookings from London nursery managers, and rapidly deploying vetted early years practitioners.


• Permanent Placements: Servicing regular inbound permanent vacancies (Room Leaders, Deputy Managers, Early Years Educators) to maximize desk revenue.


• Candidate Sourcing & Vetting: Proactive talent attraction, interviewing, and running fast-track compliance (enhanced DBS, right to work, references, qualifications) via Zoho.


• Client Engagement: Outbound phone calls to nursery clients to secure upcoming shift rosters, follow up on placements, and identify new business opportunities.


• High Activity & Pace: Managing a busy desk where speed, strong phone rapport, and commercial drive lead directly to commission.

Requirements

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: 1+ years in recruitment (resourcing, delivery, or 360), estate agency, high-volume sales, or fast-paced phone-based account handling. (Education, childcare, or temp staffing experience is a major plus).


• Strong Phone Presence: Confident, articulate, and energised on the phone—you build trust quickly and pick up the receiver naturally.


• Commercially Driven: Motivated by daily shift targets, billing numbers, and maximising your monthly bonus.


• Organised Under Pressure: Able to prioritise urgent morning temp coverage while methodically advancing permanent candidate pipelines.

What We Offer

Benefits

• Competitive Base + Dual Earning Potential: £27k-£30k basic + uncapped monthly commission across temp shift volume and permanent placement fees.


• On-Call Pay: Dedicated allowance for out-of-hours rota cover.


• Modern Office & Tech: Sit-stand desks, dual monitors, modern CRM setup (Zoho), and free on-site parking in Birstall.


• Hybrid Flexibility: Up to 2 days work from home per week once fully onboarded.


• Career Growth: Direct path to Senior Consultant / Desk Lead as our London operations expand.

Benefits

• Company pension


• Free parking


• On-site parking


• Work from home
