We are a fast-paced, energetic and driven business, and we’re looking to add another ambitious Recruitment Consultant to our team as we continue to grow and establish ourselves as a real force within the education recruitment market.

business development-focused role . You’ll be responsible for building relationships with schools, identifying opportunities, winning new business and developing your own client base.

What we’re looking for

But for the right person, the rewards can be significant.
