Are you Driven. Disciplined. Ready to Make a Difference?

If you're Fuelled by Routine, Focused on Results, Driven by Purpose, this could be a career you should consider!

At Milk Education, we’re shaping futures. We work in genuine partnership with schools and communities across the UK to drive real social change through education. We’re proud to call ourselves a purpose-driven agency — because for us, recruitment is about impact, not just numbers.

We’re looking for people who show up, work hard, and care deeply about what they do. If you say you will do something, you make sure it happens. If you’ve built discipline through sport, thrived in high-standard industries like luxury retail, or you're simply someone who doesn’t cut corners — we see you.

This is your chance to build a successful career while helping shape the next generation.

What the role involves:

You’ll start by learning the foundations of recruitment — supporting experienced consultants with sourcing candidates, understanding school needs, and building strong relationships. As you develop, you’ll take ownership of your own desk and become a trusted partner to the schools and educators you work with.

You’ll be a great fit if you:

• Are disciplined and self-motivated, with a strong personal routine
• Have a background in sports, luxury retail, education, or any high-performance environments
• Take pride in delivering an exceptional experience, even under pressure
• Are goal-oriented, love structure, and thrive in a results-driven setting
• Want to be part of something bigger — helping others succeed while building your own success

What we offer:

• £28,000 starting salary with a clear and achievable monthly commission bonus scheme (High On Target Earnings)
• Full training from industry professionals + clear progression path
• Hybrid working after probation
• Wellness benefits: Private online GP, mental health support, critical illness cover
• Free mortgage & financial consultations
• Regular socials, team incentives, and a culture built on care, not pressure
• Office dogs, in-house bar, and a team that genuinely backs each other

A day in the life (once you're up and running):

• Calling schools to understand their challenges and staffing needs
• Finding and prepping the right candidates for roles that make a difference
• Using our CRM and tech tools to track progress and pipeline
• Contributing to team goals, solving problems, and celebrating the wins
• Growing a desk you’re proud to call your own
