Flourish Education is entering an exciting phase of growth—and we’re looking for a Recruitment Team Leader to help us build and lead a new team within one of our expanding areas: Secondary, SEN or EYFS.

This is an ideal role for a proven Recruitment Team Leader, Billing Manager, Managing Consultant or experienced Senior Consultant ready to take the next step into leadership.

• Lead and develop a small team of Recruitment Consultants, supporting their performance and growth.
• Identify and win new business opportunities to drive the success of your division.

About You:

• You’re currently working as a Recruitment Team Leader, Billing Manager, Managing Consultant or Senior Consultant with leadership responsibilities.
• You have experience in supply, temp or contract recruitment (education recruitment experience is a plus, but not essential).
• You're confident in business development, team leadership and delivering results.
• You hold a full UK driving licence and have access to a car (school/client visits are part of the role).

Why Join Flourish Education?

• A chance to shape a new team or division with long-term growth potential.
• Competitive basic salary plus uncapped individual and team commission.
• Quarterly and annual performance bonuses.
• 36 days holiday, including 3 full weeks off during summer.
• A 4.5-day working week with full-time pay.
• Shorter working hours during school holidays.
• Private health insurance via Vitality.

Hours & Location:

• School holidays: 8am–3pm
• Based in Northfield, Birmingham, with easy access from Solihull, Worcester, Bromsgrove, Halesowen, and Redditch.
