A career in recruitment is one that will challenge, engage and satisfy any hard working and determined individual. At Teaching Personnel, as a destination employer, we are looking for a recruitment consultant who embodies our TP spirit by working at a great company, with great career prospects, alongside great people.

This role involves making a high volume of sales and business development calls to schools across your local region; resourcing and recruiting quality teachers and carrying out interviews. Along with having regular face-to-face client visits (via video conferencing due to COVID-19) whilst building relationships with key decision makers in schools. The role also requires excellent communication skills as recruitment consultants are also required to write their own adverts to attract candidates and marketing to showcase those candidates and their attributes to schools.

We always welcome a broad range of skills, personal attributes and potential, rather than experience.
