Do you have great people skills and enjoy building strong professional relationships?
Are you motivated by success and excited by the opportunity to make a real difference in education?

We are looking for an enthusiastic and driven Recruitment Consultant to join our growing education recruitment team in Chelmsford.

As an Recruitment Consultant, you will play a key role in connecting talented teachers and education professionals with schools across Essex. You will build relationships with candidates and schools, understand their requirements and provide a high-quality recruitment service from initial contact through to placement.


The Role

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with schools and education professionals.
  • Sourcing, interviewing and registering high-quality candidates.

About You

We are looking for a Recruitment Consultant who is confident, resilient and motivated to succeed. Previous recruitment or sales experience would be beneficial, but it isn't essential.

You will need to be comfortable speaking with people at all levels, managing multiple priorities and working in a fast-paced environment. Most importantly, you will need to enjoy building relationships and have the drive to achieve your goals.

Working within Chelmsford, you will become part of a supportive and ambitious team where your development is encouraged. Full training and ongoing support will be provided, giving you the tools and knowledge needed to establish yourself within education recruitment.


Why Join Us?
  • Excellent training and career development opportunities.
  • Supportive and collaborative team environment.
  • Competitive salary and commission structure.
  • Opportunity to build a successful career in recruitment.
  • The chance to make a genuine difference to schools, teachers and students.
  • A fast-paced and rewarding working environment.

Whether you're an experienced recruiter or looking to move into recruitment for the first time, this could be an exciting opportunity to develop your career in Chelmsford!

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