Education Recruitment Consultant Account Manager- up to £40,000

Education Recruitment Consultant – Account Management Focus

This is an opportunity for an experienced education recruitment consultant to join an established agency supporting a large, existing contract with schools.

This is not a sales-led role. The business is already on approved PSLs and has long-standing relationships in place, so the focus is on managing and developing those accounts rather than winning new business.

You will manage multiple school and trust relationships across Primary, Secondary and SEND, ensuring a consistent and high-quality service. The role is built around trust, reliability and strong communication, with a clear focus on maintaining and strengthening existing partnerships.

You will work closely with key decision makers within schools, building long-term relationships and becoming a go-to contact for their recruitment needs. The focus is on understanding demand, planning ahead and delivering consistently.

Internally, you will work closely with the resourcing team to ensure the right candidates are sourced and presented quickly. Candidate relationships are equally important, with responsibility for managing availability and maintaining strong fill rates.

The business has an established reputation within education recruitment, with strong school relationships and a consistent flow of bookings. You will step into a stable and well-supported desk from day one.

Package & Working Pattern

• Basic salary up to £40,000 plus bonus
• Hybrid working – 1 day per week from home
• Up to 2 days working from home during school holidays
• Working hours 7:15am – 4:15pm

The Role

• Manage existing school and trust relationships across Primary, Secondary and SEND

• Strong relationship-building and account management ability
• Ability to manage multiple clients and priorities

Why This Role

This role offers something different within education recruitment.

You are not building a desk from scratch or chasing new business. Instead, you will manage an established area with existing relationships, focusing on delivery, service and long-term growth.

It provides more stability, less pressure on sales activity and a genuine opportunity to focus on building strong relationships and delivering consistently.
