Senior Education Recruitment Consultant

Ready for the next step in your education recruitment career?

We are looking for an ambitious and experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our established education recruitment business in Harrow.

This opportunity is specifically aimed at someone who already works within education recruitment, understands the demands of the sector and has a proven ability to develop relationships with schools, generate business and successfully place education professionals.

But we’re looking for more than just another recruiter.

We’re looking for someone who wants to grow, take ownership and become part of the future leadership of the business.

If you’re currently performing well as a Recruitment Consultant or Senior Consultant but feel your progression into management is limited where you are, we’d like to speak to you.

The Opportunity

You’ll join an established education recruitment business and be given the opportunity to develop your own desk, strengthen existing school relationships and generate new business across the education sector.

You’ll have the autonomy to make an impact while being supported to take the next step in your career.

For the right person, our intention is to create a clear pathway towards a management position.

We want someone who doesn’t just want to hit their own targets, but who ultimately wants to lead people, develop consultants, grow a team and help drive the business forward.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Senior Recruitment Consultant, your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and developing relationships with primary, secondary and SEND schools
• Generating new business and building long-term partnerships with schools
• Developing and managing a successful education recruitment desk
• Recruiting Teachers, Teaching Assistants, Cover Supervisors, SEN staff and other education professionals
• Conducting regular sales and business-development activity
• Visiting schools and meeting decision-makers
• Sourcing, interviewing and registering high-quality candidates
• Managing temporary, long-term and permanent placements
• Maintaining a strong candidate pipeline
• Negotiating rates and terms with clients
• Delivering excellent customer service to both schools and candidates
• Working closely with compliance and resourcing colleagues
• Consistently achieving agreed KPIs and revenue targets
• Contributing ideas to improve performance and grow the business
• Supporting and mentoring less experienced consultants as you progress towards management

Who We’re Looking For

Education recruitment experience is essential for this position.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is currently working, or has recently worked, within education recruitment
• Has experience developing relationships with schools
• Understands temporary, long-term and/or permanent education recruitment
• Has strong business-development and sales ability
• Is confident speaking with Headteachers, Business Managers, HR teams and other school decision-makers
• Is commercially driven and motivated by achieving results
• Can manage and develop their own recruitment desk
• Has excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Is organised, resilient and accountable
• Enjoys working as part of a team
• Wants greater responsibility and career progression
• Has the ambition to move into management and leadership in the near future

What We’re Offering

This isn’t intended to be a role where you remain a Senior Consultant indefinitely.

We want to identify someone with the potential to become an important part of the leadership team as the business continues to develop.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

Build your desk. Build relationships. Build a team. Build your career.

We believe strong recruiters should be given the opportunity to progress, take responsibility and ultimately lead.

If you’ve reached the point in your education recruitment career where you’re thinking:

“I’m ready for more.”

Then this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Location

The position is based at our Harrow office in North-West London, conveniently located close to Harrow-on-the-Hill Station, with excellent transport connections across London.

This is an office-based position and would particularly suit someone based in North-West London or within a comfortable commute of Harrow.

Your Next Move Could Be Into Management

We’re not simply recruiting for today’s vacancy.

We’re looking for someone who could become one of tomorrow’s leaders within the business.

If you’re already succeeding in education recruitment, you’re ambitious, commercially driven and you believe you’re ready to take the next step towards management, we want to hear from you.
