Graduate Recruitment Consultant (Education) (Permanent)

£34k - £40k per annum
Full-time

Recruitment Consultant, Education

Key details

Salary: £34,000 to £40,000 plus commission

Contract: Permanent

Location: Superb office space in a manor house, Edgbaston

Requirement: Experienced in education recruitment

Desk: Warm. You inherit live clients, active jobs, and an existing candidate pool

The role

You run a desk. You fill supply and long-term bookings, manage permanent vacancies, and grow accounts. You build strong relationships with schools. You deliver staffing fast, safely, and consistently. Education recruitment is high volume, safeguarding-led, and unforgiving if your data is messy.

Warm desk, hit the ground running means

You take over existing school accounts with regular requirements.

You inherit active pipelines and current candidates.

You focus on service, fill-rate, and growth, rather than spending months begging for your first vacancy.

What you will do

Client management and school relationships

Manage day-to-day staffing requirements for your schools, including short notice cover and planned absences.

Take detailed job briefs from schools, confirm expectations, and agree timescales.

Build trust through regular check-ins and school visits, then turn service into repeat bookings and exclusivity.

Filling bookings and managing the pipeline

Match teachers, cover supervisors, TAs, and SEN staff to roles based on experience, location, and suitability.

Book candidates, confirm arrival details, and handle last-minute changes without melting down.

Maintain a forward pipeline for known needs, exams, maternity cover, interventions, and long-term roles.

Candidate management and delivery

Interview and register candidates, assess classroom ability, and set expectations on standards and conduct.

Coach candidates through placements, performance feedback, and school-specific requirements.

Keep candidates warm with consistent contact so you reduce dropouts and protect fill rates.

Compliance and safeguarding

Oversee compliance for every placement, including right to work checks, DBS status, references, and full vetting records.

Ensure candidates meet education safeguarding expectations before they set foot in a school.

Keep documentation and audit trails clean, because schools and audits do not care about excuses.

Business development and desk growth

Grow existing accounts through service, upsell, and expanding into new departments, key stages, and sites.

Identify new schools to target, make sales calls, and win new requirements to increase market share.

Negotiate rates and margins in line with desk targets and market conditions.

Data and process

Use the CRM properly. Track calls, bookings, compliance status, availability, and outcomes.

Produce shortlists and candidate profiles quickly and accurately.

Monitor KPIs like fill rate, time to fill, availability coverage, and conversion from temp to long-term or perm.

What you need

Proven experience billing within education recruitment.

Strong knowledge of supply, long-term cover, and education compliance basics.

Confidence with phone-based sales and candidate control.

Pace, resilience, and the ability to prioritise fast when schools change plans in real time.

What you get

  • £34,000 to £40,000 plus commission
  • Warm desk with live schools and immediate roles to fill
  • Strong brand and office base in Edgbaston, in a manor house, because humans love networking in buildings built for period dramas

Due to the number of applications, only successful applicants will be contacted
