Join an Agency Built on Quality, Not Volume

Launch Education is a fast-growing education recruitment agency with a reputation for delivering exceptional teachers and education professionals to schools and colleges across the UK. Our focus has always been on quality over quantity, reflected in our outstanding interview-to-placement ratios, consistent 5-star Google reviews, and the long-term relationships we've built with our clients.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for an ambitious Education Recruitment Consultant to join our Manchester team. If you have recruitment experience, enjoy building lasting relationships, and want to be part of a business where your work genuinely makes an impact, we'd love to hear from you.

• £47K - £52K+ first-year earning potential.
• Exceptional training and development from experienced Directors.
• Supportive, collaborative culture where everyone works together to succeed.
• Incentive trips - Previous destinations include Dubai, New York and Miami.
• Upcoming trips - Miami (again!) and Skiing.
• Lunch clubs - Regular wellbeing check-ins, free coffee, early Friday finishes and frequent team socials.

The Role

As a Recruitment Consultant, you'll play a key role in growing your specialist desk while delivering an outstanding recruitment experience for both clients and candidates.

You'll be responsible for:

• Building strong relationships with schools, colleges and education providers.
• Developing new business opportunities and managing existing client accounts.
• Sourcing, interviewing and placing high-quality education professionals.
• Managing the full recruitment process from initial vacancy through to successful placement.
• Negotiating offers and providing expert recruitment advice to clients and candidates.
• Working towards achievable targets while contributing to the growth of the business.

What We're Looking For

• 1+ year previous recruitment experience (education recruitment is beneficial but not essential).
• A motivated, resilient and target-driven mindset.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Confidence in business development and winning new clients.
• A positive attitude and a desire to build a successful long-term career in recruitment.

Why Launch Education?

You'll work alongside experienced Directors in a close-knit team where your ideas matter, your achievements are celebrated, and your earning potential is truly uncapped.

If you're looking for your next opportunity with a business that's growing and ambitious, we'd love to hear from you.
