Step Into a Leadership Role Without Leaving the Desk Behind

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Recruitment Manager - Primary Education to lead a successful desk while supporting the performance and development of a small, growing team. The current manager/director will be stepping away to go on maternity.

This is the perfect opportunity for a senior consultant or team leader ready to step up into management, or an existing manager who enjoys staying hands-on with billing while shaping team success.

• Supporting consultants to achieve and exceed targets through coaching and mentorship
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with primary schools and trusts
• Driving business development activity and expanding client partnerships
• Ensuring compliance with safeguarding and education recruitment standards
• Contributing to overall office performance and culture

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in education recruitment, ideally within primary supply or permanent placements
• A strong track record in billing and business development
• Previous experience mentoring, supporting, or leading others
• A collaborative leadership style with a passion for developing people
• Target-driven with strong commercial awareness
• Excellent relationship-building and communication skills

What's in It for You?

• Competitive salary with uncapped personal and team commission
• A warm desk peaking at 130-140 days this academic year
• A clear pathway into senior management
• The chance to shape a team while still running your own desk
• Regular incentives, bonuses, and recognition schemes
• Ongoing training and career development support
• A supportive and high-energy working environment

Why Join Us?

Join a business committed to delivering high-quality staffing solutions to primary schools while investing in the growth of its people. You'll have the autonomy to influence your team's success, with the backing of a supportive leadership structure.
