We're growing. And we're looking for someone who wants to grow with us.
There comes a point in your recruitment career when you have to ask yourself a question.
Am I building my own future, or am I just building someone else's business?
At Create Education, we're offering you the opportunity to do both.
We're an ambitious, independent education recruitment agency with big plans, an established presence across London and a genuine determination to become one of the most respected names in our industry.
We've spent the last few years building our foundations, developing relationships with schools and growing our reputation.
Now we're ready for the next chapter. And we want you to be part of it.
We're recruiting an Education Recruitment Consultant to join us in January 2027, working alongside an experienced consultant to develop an established London market.
This isn't about walking into an office, being handed a phone and being told to hit 100 calls.
It's about joining a business where your ideas matter, your successes are celebrated and your ambitions are taken seriously.
And yes, you'll still need to pick up that phone!
Let's talk about what really matters.
We know what good recruiters want.
You want to earn well. You want to progress. You want to feel valued. And you want to know that the hard work you're putting in today is actually taking you somewhere.
Here's what we're offering:
- £30,000–£40,000+ basic salary, depending on experience
- Uncapped commission with NO threshold from day one
- Genuine opportunities to progress into Senior Consultant, Management and Leadership roles
- 24–35 days' annual leave, depending on experience, plus bank holidays
- An additional day off for your birthday
- Hybrid working, with time in the office, at home and visiting clients
- 3:30pm finishes throughout the school holidays
- An established London market with existing client relationships
- Direct access to the Managing Director and senior leadership team
- Ongoing training, coaching and genuine investment in your development
- Regular incentives, team celebrations and recognition
- An annual overseas company conference, with previous destinations including Portugal and Spain
- The opportunity to build towards £100,000+ annual earnings as a top performer
The opportunity to join a business that's still growing, where you can genuinely influence what comes next.
Who are Create Education?
We're an independent education recruitment agency established in 2020, built around three values that mean everything to us:
Honesty. Trust. Transparency.
We support mainstream schools, SEN schools, alternative provisions and academy trusts across London, providing exceptional teachers, teaching assistants, SEN professionals, school support staff and leaders.
Our consultants take ownership of geographical areas, building long-term partnerships with schools while recruiting across the wider education market.
We are also an approved supplier on the GCA RM6376 Supply Teachers and Education Recruitment Framework.
We have ambitious growth plans, strong relationships and a team that genuinely cares about the work we do.
But we're not pretending we've made it.
We're building something. And the people who help us build it will have the opportunity to grow with it.
What will you actually be doing?
Let's not dress it up.
Recruitment is sales. And good recruiters make things happen.
You'll be responsible for developing relationships, identifying opportunities, winning business and matching brilliant education professionals with schools that need them.
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Proactively developing new business through cold calling, meetings and school visits
- Building genuine relationships with Headteachers, SENCOs and school leaders
- Recruiting teachers, teaching assistants and specialist education professionals
- Managing temporary, long-term and permanent recruitment
- Developing an established geographical area alongside an existing consultant
- Managing the full 360-degree recruitment process
- Working closely with our compliance team to deliver an exceptional service
- Taking ownership of your desk, your performance and ultimately your success
But you'll need to bring the hunger.
So, who are we looking for?
Someone who wants more.
More opportunity. More responsibility. More recognition. More financial reward.
Ideally, you'll already have experience in education recruitment or another recruitment environment, although we'd also consider someone with a strong, proven background in sales.
We're looking for someone who:
- Loves winning new business and building relationships
- Isn't afraid to pick up the phone and open doors
- Is financially motivated and wants to earn serious commission
- Has the resilience to deal with setbacks and keep pushing forward
- Takes accountability and doesn't need someone constantly looking over their shoulder
- Has personality, energy and a genuine team mentality
- Wants to progress beyond being a Recruitment Consultant
- Is excited by the prospect of helping shape a growing business
We need you to have the ambition, attitude and work ethic to become exceptional.
A different kind of working week.
We work hard. But we also recognise that flexibility and enjoying your life outside work matter.
Term-time hours: 7:30am–4:30pm
School holiday hours: 9:00am–3:30pm
Our hybrid working model includes:
- Three days in our London Bridge office
- One day working from home
- One day out visiting schools and developing client relationships
Why January? Why Create? Why now?
Because timing matters.
Join a huge recruitment company and you might spend years waiting for the next opportunity.
Join a business with no foundations and you could spend years trying to build them.
At Create Education, we're offering you something in between.
An established business. Existing relationships. A growing reputation. An ambitious leadership team.
And enough room for the right person to make a real impact.
We've already seen members of our team develop and progress as the business has grown, and we're determined to create even more opportunities as we enter 2027.
We're not interested in making empty promises about progression.
We want to develop the people who will become our future leaders.
That could be you.
One final thing...
We're not looking for someone who simply wants to change recruitment agencies.
We're looking for someone who wants to look back in a few years and say:
"I joined Create when it was growing. I helped build it. And it was one of the best decisions I ever made."
If that sounds like the kind of opportunity you've been waiting for, we'd love to have a conversation.
January 2027 start. Interviews taking place now.
