You can help decide on the office location. You will also be involved in building your team around you.

There will already be 150 – 200 days as a foundation for your new branch, this is due to the current business is being run by a team in London.

They have decided that a local team would best serve the Manchester market, it would add a personal touch, you can go on school visits, meet candidates face-to-face and deal with the needs of the branch locally

There will be a full and comprehensive handover from the team currently covering Manchester

This isn’t a typical recruitment position, as part of your role will be advising schools and demonstrating educational booking technology (Edtech) that they use when booking teachers. The tech also allows candidates to choose what assignments they want, update their availability, and decide from a choice of possibilities what roles and schools to work at

There are a great deal of teacher supply agencies in Manchester, it’s a very competitive market, this agency offers something very different from typical agencies in Manchester with many USP’s that other agencies don’t have, allowing you to stick out and be noticed.

Part of your role will involve going on visits and demonstrating how the booking technology works with schools and candidates. It’s very intuitive and easy to pick up and can be used with a phone or laptop.

Once schools are accustomed to the tech, you will soon find your role becomes more account management as schools can search through available candidates, upload their recruitment needs, and have full control over the hiring process. Timesheets, compliance, documentation, and teacher references are all on the app.

The majority of your business will be built in the background by your school’s using the app.

For this role, you must have experience in education recruitment, no exceptions.
