An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced SEND Education Recruitment Consultant to inherit an established, income-generating desk with an award-winning education recruitment agency in London.

Offering a basic salary between £40,000 and £50,000, hybrid working with two days working from home each week, and uncapped commission, this role allows you to focus on building relationships and growing revenue while an experienced back-office team manages candidate attraction, compliance and administration.

If you’re an education recruiter looking to inherit a genuine warm desk rather than spending months building one from scratch, this could be one of the strongest opportunities currently available within the London education recruitment market.

About the Company

Our client is an established education recruitment agency that has built an excellent reputation supplying schools across London and the Home Counties.

Operating across Primary, Secondary and SEND education, the business has grown consistently through long-term relationships, high service standards and an excellent reputation within the education sector.

Unlike many recruitment agencies that expect consultants to manage every aspect of a recruitment desk, this business has invested heavily in specialist operational teams, allowing recruiters to spend more time generating revenue and less time dealing with administration.

The company has created a genuinely collaborative culture where recruiters receive the support they need without unnecessary micromanagement.

The office reflects the diverse communities the business supports, with a multicultural and inclusive workforce where different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives are welcomed and respected.

The Opportunity

This opportunity centres around an established SEND recruitment desk with existing schools, recurring business and long-standing client relationships already in place.

Rather than spending months building a desk from zero, you’ll inherit existing clients, ongoing bookings and immediate billing opportunities from your first day.

The role is ideal for an experienced education recruiter who enjoys developing relationships, expanding existing accounts and identifying new opportunities within schools and academy trusts.

Supported by dedicated Resourcing, Compliance and Back Office teams, you’ll have the freedom to concentrate on growing your desk while specialist colleagues handle much of the administration and candidate delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing

Your role will include:

Managing a large established SEND recruitment desk across London and the surrounding areas.
Developing relationships with existing schools and education clients.
Growing revenue through existing accounts and strategic business development.
Supplying SEND Teachers, Teaching Assistants and Education Support Staff.
Identifying additional opportunities within existing client schools.
Meeting Headteachers, SENDCOs, School Business Managers and senior education leaders.
Negotiating commercial agreements and recruitment solutions.
Working closely with dedicated Resourcing Consultants to ensure candidate availability.
Collaborating with Compliance professionals to ensure candidates meet safeguarding requirements.
Building long-term partnerships that generate repeat business.

A Recruitment Structure Designed Around Recruiters

One of the biggest advantages of joining this business is the support structure already in place.

Many experienced education recruiters become frustrated because too much of their week is spent completing administration, chasing references or managing compliance.

Here, specialist teams take ownership of those responsibilities.

Dedicated Resourcing Team

An experienced Resourcing team focuses on attracting, interviewing and engaging high-quality education professionals, allowing you to spend more time with schools and clients.

Experienced Compliance Team

Education recruitment relies on excellent safeguarding standards.

A dedicated Compliance department manages references, DBS checks, Right to Work documentation and candidate clearances, ensuring schools receive fully compliant staff while reducing your administrative workload.

Strong Back Office Support

The business has invested heavily in experienced operational and back-office teams that keep desks running efficiently.

Instead of being distracted by paperwork and administration, you’ll have the support needed to focus on growing your business, strengthening client relationships and increasing your earnings.

Hybrid Working & Working Environment

The company believes experienced recruiters perform best when trusted.

You’ll work within a supportive environment offering:

Hybrid working with two days working from home each week
Modern London office
Free onsite parking
Free onsite gym membership
Reduced working hours during school holidays
Inclusive and multicultural workplace
Collaborative leadership team
Regular incentives and team events

You’ll have the flexibility and support needed to perform at your best while maintaining an excellent work-life balance.
