Job description

Job Spec - Business Development Recruitment Consultant



Location: London


We believe every child deserves a chance to flourish - no matter their background. We connect outstanding educators with schools that change lives. We’re growing fast, and our next step is bringing on our first Business Development Recruitment Consultant - someone hungry to open doors, build trust, and help shape the future of our company.



The Role


This is a pure business development position - no candidate work, no delivery, just relationships and results. You’ll be responsible for bringing new schools on board and driving revenue growth through meaningful partnerships.



Your day will involve:



Proactively reaching out to schools across London to introduce us

Speaking directly with headteachers, business managers, and SENCOs

Navigating gatekeepers and finding creative ways to get through to decision makers

Building long-term client relationships rooted in trust and value

Working closely with the Managing Director to shape our growth strategy

Tracking outreach, leads, and performance using our CRM



About You


You’re a natural on the phone - confident, curious, and relentless when it comes to results. You understand that building something from scratch isn’t easy, but that’s exactly what excites you.



You’ll need:



Proven experience in business development or telesales (education or recruitment sector a plus)

High resilience - you’ll face “no” more often than “yes,” and that won’t shake you

Excellent communication and negotiation skills

A driven, goal-oriented mindset with a genuine belief in what we stand for



Why us?



You’ll be the first BD hire, shaping how we grow and setting the tone for future consultants

Work directly with the founder - learn, build, and develop fast

Uncapped commission with genuine earning potential

A start-up environment built on trust, transparency, and purpose
