This isn't just another education recruitment role.
Most education recruitment opportunities offer you a small geographic patch and ask you to compete in an already saturated market.
This role is different.
We're looking for an ambitious and experienced Education Recruitment Consultant to drive growth across the whole of London.
With London's education market continuing to evolve, there is significant scope to establish new client partnerships, deepen existing relationships and create a desk that genuinely reflects your strengths and expertise.
If you're the kind of recruiter who is motivated by building something substantial rather than simply maintaining what's already there, you'll find a unique opportunity waiting for you at Reed.

- Dedicated compliance, marketing, onboarding and operational support.
- Industry-leading training and leadership development.
- Clear, transparent career progression with opportunities to move into senior leadership roles.
- Uncapped earning potential with no ceiling on success.

This is a role for a recruiter who enjoys winning business, building relationships and developing a market.
You'll
- Develop new partnerships with schools, MATs, colleges and educational organisations across London.
- Grow revenue through both new business acquisition and account expansion.
- Build and nurture a high-quality network of teaching and non-teaching professionals.
- Deliver consultative recruitment solutions to education leaders.
- Attend client meetings across London and position Reed as a trusted recruitment partner.
- Manage the full recruitment lifecycle from business development through to placement.
- Drive your own strategy and identify opportunities across multiple education sectors.
What we're looking for
We're interested in ambitious recruiters who understand the education market and want a bigger platform to grow.
You'll likely have
- Proven success within education recruitment.
- A track record of developing new business and growing client relationships.
- Strong commercial awareness and a consultative approach.

- A genuine ambition to build a high-performing desk and maximise your earnings.
What you can expect
- Competitive salary and uncapped earning potential.
- Industry-leading recruitment technology and support.
- Personal development funding and access to Reed Courses.

- Health cash plan, wellbeing support and discounts on gym membership, shopping etc
- The opportunity to shape and grow a significant London education desk with long-term career progression.
Make your mark on London's education market
There are very few opportunities where you can combine the backing of an established national brand with the freedom to develop business across one of the largest education markets in the UK.
If you're an experienced education recruiter looking for a role with genuine growth potential, greater autonomy and the opportunity to build something meaningful, we'd love to hear from you.
