Account Manager – Education Recruitment

Location: South Wales

£30,000 – £36,000 basic + commission

Join a fast-growing education recruitment business that does things differently from a traditional agency. This role focuses on account management, growth, and retention rather than admin-heavy tasks.

The Role

• Manage and grow a defined local patch
• Be the main point of contact for schools in your area
• Showcase the company’s unique offering through online and face-to-face meetings
• Support schools with bookings and candidate selection
• Present candidates and complete registrations as needed
• Work closely with schools to ensure bookings are filled efficiently
• Focus on increasing activity and usage rather than GP margins

This is a relationship-led business development role, ideal for someone who enjoys winning new accounts, expanding existing ones, and driving long-term value.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Far less admin than a traditional recruitment agency
• High-volume, stable workflow
• Schools value the model and tend to embed long-term
• Less pressure, structured environment, and a collaborative team culture

Bonuses & Commission

• Performance measured on growth and activity, not GP
• Commission split: 50% individual / 50% team
• Paid termly (6 times per year)

Working Pattern

• 4 days in the office / 1 day WFH
• Shift options: 7–4 or 8–5
• Reduced hours during school holidays (9–3)
• Supportive, non-aggressive culture

Ideal Candidate

• Recruitment and sales experience, ideally in temporary education recruitment
• Strong relationship management skills and a passion for service
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• Enjoys working as part of a team
• Passionate about technology
