Education Recruitment Consultant

Location: Central Manchester
Salary: £26,500 – £35,000 basic (DOE) + Uncapped Monthly Commission
Contract: Permanent | Full-Time | Immediate Start Available

Are you an experienced recruiter ready for a more purpose-driven sector?

Or are you a high-performing sales professional (minimum 2 years’ experience) looking to transition into education recruitment and build a long-term career?

KPI Education is expanding its Manchester team and seeking an ambitious, commercially driven Education Recruitment Consultant to join us on a permanent basis with an immediate start available.

Who Are KPI Education?

KPI Education is a specialist, nationwide education recruitment consultancy focused exclusively on long-term and permanent placements.

We are not a high-volume supply agency. Our model is relationship-led and quality-driven. We identify, develop and place high-calibre graduates, Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and experienced practitioners into schools where they can build sustainable, meaningful careers.

Our mission is clear: to provide schools with future educators.

We operate nationally with a dedicated team of consultants and have established strong university partnerships, including strategic collaborations with Staffordshire University and the University of Sheffield. These partnerships allow us to access exceptional graduate talent early and support schools with high-quality, long-term staffing solutions.

We pride ourselves on professionalism, integrity and long-term partnerships rather than transactional recruitment.

The Role

As an Education Recruitment Consultant, you will operate in a full 360 capacity, responsible for:

• Building and developing relationships with secondary schools
• Sourcing and placing Graduate Teaching Assistants, ECTs and Qualified Teachers
• Generating new business opportunities
• Managing the full recruitment cycle
• Conducting client meetings and candidate interviews
• Working towards clear financial targets with uncapped earning potential

This is a target-driven role suited to individuals who thrive in competitive, performance-based environments.

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 2 years’ experience in education recruitment OR
• Minimum 2 years’ experience in sales (B2B preferred)
• Strong commercial awareness and resilience
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills
• Ambition to build a long-term career
• Self-motivated and results-oriented mindset

We are looking for driven individuals who want to be part of a growing, specialist consultancy — not just another recruitment firm.

What We Offer

• £26,500 – £35,000 starting basic salary (depending on experience)
• Uncapped commission paid monthly
• 25 days annual leave + your birthday off
• Clear progression structure
• Immediate start available
• Central Manchester office location
• Surrounded by excellent transport links and city amenities
• Supportive, ambitious and growing team environment

This is an opportunity to join a recruitment business with genuine purpose, strong earning potential and long-term growth plans.

If you are ready to take the next step in your recruitment or sales career, we would love to hear from you.

Please send your CV and a short covering statement to Ryan at KPI Education to apply.
