Recruitment Consultant - Education

Step Teachers is one of the UK's most established education recruitment agencies, supporting schools and education professionals for over 25 years across London.

As we continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced Education Recruitment Consultant to join our Barnet office. This is an opportunity to take ownership of a desk, build long-term relationships with schools and candidates, and work within a business that values quality, service and sustainable growth.

Unlike many agencies, you'll be supported by a dedicated resourcing and compliance team, allowing you to focus on what you do best: winning business, developing client partnerships and generating revenue.

The Role

• Managing and developing an education recruitment desk
• Building and maintaining relationships with schools across your area
• Growing existing accounts while identifying and securing new business opportunities
• Recruiting, interviewing and placing teachers and support staff
• Managing bookings and vacancies from enquiry through to successful placement
• Delivering exceptional service to both clients and candidates
• Working towards achievable performance and revenue targets

What We're Looking For

• A minimum of two years' experience within education recruitment
• A proven track record of developing and managing a successful desk
• Strong business development and relationship-building skills
• Confidence communicating with school leaders, candidates and colleagues
• A proactive, resilient and commercially minded approach
• A genuine ambition to progress your career and contribute to the success of the wider business

Education recruitment experience is essential. Applications from candidates without previous education recruitment experience will not be considered.

What We Offer

• Competitive basic salary dependent on experience
• Uncapped commission structure
• Dedicated resourcing and compliance support
• Established brand with long-standing client relationships
• Flexible working arrangements
• Private healthcare following probation
• Private pension scheme
• Annual team events and incentive programmes
• Increasing annual leave entitlement with length of service

Why Step Teachers?

At Step Teachers, we combine the stability and reputation of an established business with the supportive culture of an independent agency.

We're also a recognised supplier on the Government Commercial Agreement (GCA) Framework, providing access to framework schools and opportunities that many agencies cannot access. If you're currently restricted by not being on a framework, you'll understand the value that brings when it comes to developing school relationships and growing a successful desk.

Whether you're looking for greater earning potential, stronger support, better access to schools, or simply a business where your contribution is recognised, Step Teachers offers the platform to take your recruitment career to the next level.
