• Advertising vacancies and attracting suitable candidates
• Searching CV databases and identifying potential candidates
• Speaking to candidates over the phone and having detailed conversations to understand their experience, skills and suitability
• Building strong and lasting relationships with candidates
• Qualifying candidates and matching them with suitable school opportunities
• Supporting candidates through our thorough compliance and vetting process
• Working closely with schools to help provide them with the right staff
• Keeping candidates informed and supported throughout their journey
• Working towards targets while maintaining a high level of service and accuracy

Who are we looking for?

• Has experience in a customer service-based role, either face-to-face or over the phone
• Is confident speaking to people and isn’t frightened of picking up the phone
• Is resilient, hardworking and motivated
• Has excellent communication and relationship-building skills

• Monday – Thursday: 10am – 3pm
• Friday: 10am – 1pm

What we offer

Starting salary: £25,000 + commission

And importantly, you’ll receive full training and ongoing support. You don’t need to know recruitment inside out – we’ll teach you everything you need to know. You’ll also have the opportunity to earn commission on every candidate you successfully place into work.

Why Connex?

This is a people-focused role where the work you do genuinely matters. Every day, you’ll be helping schools find the staff they need while supporting candidates into rewarding opportunities within education. We’re looking for someone who will throw themselves into the role, work hard, have a laugh with the team and make a real difference.

If you’re resilient, enthusiastic, organised, confident on the phone and ready to get stuck in, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
