Supporting Education Group is the UK’s leading education services platform, providing the technology, expertise and resources that help schools, trusts and education organisations deliver high‑quality learning for all. Our Qualifications & Training practice plays a central role in this mission by delivering high‑quality training, qualifications and professional development for educators across the UK and internationally.
Through evidence‑informed programmes spanning teacher development, leadership training and vocational pathways, the team equips staff with the skills, confidence and support they need to progress in their careers and thrive in the sector. By strengthening professional capability and enabling continuous growth, we help build a resilient, skilled education workforce prepared to make a positive impact on learners.
The Thrive Approach has been proven to improve pupil attendance, behaviour, and mental health through our world‑class training courses and award‑winning web product Thrive Online. You will enthusiastically engage with customers to help sell our full suite of products, including commercial courses and funded apprenticeships.
This is a high‑energy sales role designed for someone who loves working in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment. You’ll directly sell Thrive’s products and services to schools and other settings. You’ll be responsible for identifying prospects, engaging decision-makers, and closing deals that bring Thrive’s transformative approach into more classrooms.
Working closely with our Marketing, Bookings, and Regional Development Manager teams, you will support them to maximise every opportunity – identifying prospects, qualifying leads, and booking conversations with customers. But your primary focus will be on managing your pipeline and driving revenue growth through outbound sales.
This is an ambitiously targeted and well‑rewarded sales role. You are therefore an ambitious and resilient individual, motivated by forging a lucrative sales career.
What We’re Looking For:
- Sales Passion: You love selling and are motivated by targets and commission
- Ambition: You’re hungry to succeed and grow within a fast-paced sales environment
- Resilience: You handle rejection with grace and keep pushing forward

By joining us, you will become part of a community that is dedicated to transforming lives and sustaining communities, where your voice is heard, your ideas are valued, and your individuality is celebrated.
