Job description

Have you built a successful recruitment career and are ready for your next challenge?

Maybe you've spent years building desks, developing clients and consistently billing, but the part of recruitment you've always enjoyed most is coaching others, sharing your knowledge and seeing people succeed.

We're looking for an experienced recruiter who understands what it takes to succeed in an agency environment and has a genuine knack for training, coaching and developing people.

If you're ready to step away from running your own desk and into a role where you can share your experience, develop others and make a wider impact across the business, we'd love to hear from you.

We're proudly independent, purpose-driven and growing at an exciting pace, with nine offices nationwide and ambitious plans for further expansion.

As we continue to grow, investing in our people has never been more important.

Reporting directly to our Learning & Development Manager, you'll help develop consultants at every stage of their recruitment journey, from brand-new trainees to experienced recruiters looking to take their performance to the next level.

This isn't simply a training role. You'll train, coach, mentor, challenge and inspire our people to become the best recruiters they can be.

What You'll Be Doing

• Deliver engaging recruitment induction training for new starters.

• Support new consultants throughout their first three months, building confidence, capability and consistency.
• Deliver one-to-one coaching, desk-side mentoring and training workshops.
• Work closely with Branch Managers to identify development needs and create tailored coaching plans.
• Monitor KPIs, quality standards and performance, using data to identify areas for improvement.
• Carry out quality audits and help embed recruitment best practice across the business.
• Coach experienced consultants to improve performance, productivity and commercial results.
• Provide constructive feedback and practical support to help consultants overcome challenges.
• Share your own recruitment experience, knowledge and proven techniques across the business.
• Help create a culture of continuous learning, development and high performance.

Who We're Looking For

You'll have:

• A proven track record of success within an agency recruitment environment, ideally within education or healthcare recruitment.

• Energy, positivity and the ability to motivate those around you.
• The confidence to challenge people while giving honest, constructive feedback.
• A strong understanding of recruitment KPIs, performance and best practice.

• A full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel between branches.

Why Join Milk Education?

This is an opportunity to take everything you've learned throughout your recruitment career and use it to develop the people who will shape the future of our business.
