Ready to step into a role where your experience is valued, your growth is prioritised, and your earning potential is unlimited?
Talentia Group is looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our thriving Education team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with recruitment experience-particularly in education or senior-level appointments-who's looking to take ownership of a busy dual desk (temp & perm) and push it to new heights.
What the Role Involves
As a Senior Consultant, you'll be working on a desk that already has strong relationships and existing clients-but we're looking for someone who's excited to grow it further. Your focus will be:
360 recruitment: From business development and client briefings to candidate sourcing, interviews, offers, and aftercare
Senior-level appointments: Recruiting for roles such as Headteachers, Principals, and SLT positions, as well as high-level operational and curriculum leaders
Client relationship management: Maintaining and developing long-term partnerships, becoming a trusted advisor to your clients
Candidate engagement: Building a high-quality network of education leaders and specialists
Desk development: Identifying opportunities to grow market share, whether through new business or additional services to existing clients
Who We're Looking For
We want someone who's confident managing a recruitment process end-to-end-and who thrives in a performance-driven, people-first environment. Ideally, you'll have:
A minimum of 12 months' experience in recruitment, preferably in the education sector or with a focus on senior appointments
Proven success working a 360 desk with both candidate and client responsibilities
A track record of meeting (and exceeding) targets
A strategic and proactive approach to business development
Strong communication skills, professionalism, and a commitment to doing right by your clients and candidates
Why Talentia Group?
We're not your typical recruitment company. We're a certified BCorp, which means we're committed to balancing purpose with profit-and creating a genuinely rewarding place to work.
Here's what you can expect:
Culture & Recognition
Monthly lunch clubs for top performers
Three company-wide trips per year - previous destinations include Ibiza, skiing in the Alps, and city breaks across Europe
Regular team socials, competitions, and recognition awards
Career Development
Clear, structured progression routes - whether you're aiming to become a Principal Consultant, Team Lead, or Manager
Access to both internal and external training (including ILM-accredited leadership development programmes)
Opportunity to mentor others as you grow
Hybrid & Flexibility
Office-based to begin with (to set you up for success)
Once established, you'll move to a hybrid model
What Sets Us Apart
We genuinely care about our people-your wellbeing, development, and success matter to us
Our team culture is supportive, ambitious, and fun-you'll be surrounded by like-minded individuals who want to see each other succeed
We are a company with purpose, not just profit-through our BCorp status and partnerships like the Armed Forces Covenant
