The Opportunity

We're looking for driven, resilient individuals with a background in sales, high-end customer service, or fast-paced/high-pressure environments to join our high-performing London team.

As a Trainee Recruitment Consultant, you'll work at pace, manage multiple priorities, and play a key role in supporting schools by sourcing outstanding teachers and support staff.
