Job Description

Trainee Recruitment Consultant - Education Sector (Temp Desk)
Location: Southampton Salary: 26,500 - 30,000 + Commission + Benefits

Join our thriving Southampton Academics team as a Temp Education Trainee Recruitment Consultant. You'll work with local schools to place teachers and teaching assistants into rewarding daily and long-term roles.

What we're offering:

  • Competitive base salary with monthly uncapped commission
  • Full support and training on education compliance and safeguarding
  • Clear progression to Senior Consultant and Team Lead roles
  • Be part of a sector where every placement has a real impact

The role:

  • Fulfil daily and long-term supply roles across primary, secondary, and SEN schools
  • Build and maintain candidate and client relationships
  • Work to meaningful targets - not cold KPIs
  • Reduced working hours during the summer break

About you:

  • Experience in sales, customer service or hospitality
  • Comfortable working to volume and pace
  • Confident communicator and relationship builder
  • Highly organised with good compliance instincts
  • A desire to grow your career in a people-first environment

No prior experience in education recruitment required. If you know how to sell to clients and keep them happy - we want to hear from you.

If you're looking to kick start your recruitment career in the Southampton area, and hoping to join a rapidly expanding, hugely successful business, with a great reputation and one of the lowest turnovers of staff in recruitment, then speak to us.

Email your CV or contact Craig Walker. Craig is very happy to discuss the role in more detail.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client's pay policy.
