Southampton

Recruitment Consultant – Education Sector
Southampton
£27,000 – £32,000 + uncapped commission

Are you an experienced recruitment consultant ready for your next big opportunity?

Do you have a background in Education recruitment and want to join a team that truly supports your career development?

Or maybe you're currently recruiting in another high-volume temp sector (like Industrial, Construction, or Catering) and are ready to step into a booming and rewarding market? If so, we’d love to hear from you — we offer full cross-training into the Education sector.

Why join Academics?

We’re one of the UK’s leading education recruitment agencies, providing teachers, teaching assistants, and support staff to over 1,000 Primary and Secondary schools every single day. Due to continued growth, we’re expanding our Southampton office and looking for a driven Recruitment Consultant to join the team.

What you'll be doing:
As an Education Recruitment Consultant, you'll:

* Build and manage relationships with Primary and/or Secondary schools
* Source, interview, and place high-quality candidates
* Manage job advertising and candidate pipelines
* Win and grow client accounts through excellent service and consistent communication
* Negotiate contracts and provide ongoing support to clients and staff

What we’re looking for:

* Strong background in recruitment or B2B sales
* A self-starter with ambition and resilience
* Excellent people and relationship-building skills
* Previous experience in a temp or high-volume recruitment sector is ideal
* Passion for delivering outstanding service to schools and education professionals

What you’ll get in return:

* A supportive, friendly team (no rigid KPIs or micromanagement)
* Uncapped commission – your earnings are in your hands
* Industry-leading training and development
* Long-term career progression within a successful and growing company
* A stable environment with one of the lowest staff turnover rates in the industry

If you're ready to build a career in one of the UK’s most in-demand sectors, and you want to be part of a respected, expanding agency — let’s talk!

Send your CV to Craig Walker or get in touch directly for a confidential chat about the role.
