Recruitment Consultant – Education
£28,000 – £42,000 + Uncapped Commission
Edgbaston, Birmingham (B15)

The Education Network is looking for an experienced Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team in Birmingham.
Are you an experienced recruiter looking for a business where you can take ownership of your desk, develop your client base and be rewarded for your success? Or perhaps you're looking for a new environment with better support, progression and a stronger sense of purpose?

We're looking for a driven and ambitious Recruitment Consultant to join our high-performing team, supporting schools across the West Midlands.

This is a 360 recruitment role, giving you the opportunity to manage and develop both new and existing client and candidate relationships. You'll join an established education recruitment brand with over 30 years of experience and a strong reputation across the local community.

Whether your background is in education, healthcare, commercial or another recruitment sector, we'd love to hear from consultants who are commercially driven, relationship-focused and ready for their next challenge.

As part of the Pertemps Network Group, you'll have access to award-winning training, excellent infrastructure, dedicated support, uncapped earning potential, progression opportunities and the stability of one of the UK's largest independent recruitment groups.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing and growing a specialist recruitment desk across SEND, Secondary or Primary, depending on your experience.
• Developing strong relationships with new and existing clients and candidates.
• Recruiting and placing high-quality teachers, teaching assistants and support staff into schools across the West Midlands.
• Developing new business through networking, referrals and proactive business development.
• Managing accounts and delivering a high-quality, tailored recruitment service.
• Building a successful desk while representing The Education Network's values of transparency, integrity and community impact.

What We're Looking For

• Previous recruitment consultant or B2B sales experience – education recruitment experience is beneficial but not essential.
• A proven ability to build relationships and develop business.
• A commercially driven, target-focused approach.
• Excellent communication, organisation and time-management skills.
• Someone who enjoys taking ownership and wants the opportunity to grow their own desk.
• A team player who values collaboration but is confident working independently.
• A genuine commitment to delivering an outstanding service to clients and candidates.

What You'll Get in Return

• £28,000 – £42,000 basic salary, depending on experience.
• Uncapped commission with no ceiling on your earning potential.
• Award-winning training and development through the Pertemps Network Group.
• A genuine opportunity for career progression and development.
• Reduced working hours during school holidays.
• An established brand with over 30 years of experience and strong local relationships.
• Excellent operational, compliance and infrastructure support.
• A welcoming Edgbaston office with free onsite parking.
• Access to the Pertemps Employee Share Scheme.
• A social, supportive team that celebrates success together.
• The opportunity to give back through school, charity and community initiatives.
