Are you a driven, people-focused recruiter ready to take ownership of a thriving desk and earn serious money?

Join Education People, a highly respected boutique recruitment agency with 18 years' success, and step into a well-established Primary desk covering schools in the South West.

  • Confident communicator with strong phone and written skills
  • Ambitious, resilient, and hungry to build a rewarding recruitment career
  • Proactive “can-do” attitude and a genuine interest in education
  • Previous recruitment experience is advantageous but not essential — we provide excellent training

What You’ll Get

£27k-£35k basic salary (depending on experience)

  • Uncapped commission — top performers on this desk regularly achieve £65k-£85k OTE
  • 24 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
  • Reduced hours every 6 weeks during school holidays
  • Full in-house training and ongoing support from a team with 30+ years’ combined expertise

  • 1 WFH day per month (once established)
  • Regular team socials and a genuinely supportive, non-corporate culture
  • Free on-site parking + superb location on trendy Whiteladies Road, Clifton (5 mins from Clifton Down station)
