BRISTOL - WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE BEST

We're growing our Bristol team and we are only interested in ambitious, resilient, high-performing individuals who want to build a serious career and earn serious money.

This is not a "try it and see" role.
This is for graduates, sales professionals, and driven individuals who are competitive, hungry, and committed to success.

If you want a comfortable 9-5, this isn't for you.
If you want progression, financial freedom, and to be surrounded by high performers - keep reading.

The Opportunity

As a Trainee Education Recruitment Consultant in Bristol, you'll operate in a fast-paced, high-reward sales environment, partnering with schools to place top-quality teachers and support staff into roles where they make real impact.

You'll be building a desk, developing relationships, and generating revenue from day one - with the training and backing of an experienced team.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Headhunting and sourcing high-quality candidates
  • Interviewing and screening education professionals
  • Building strong relationships with schools across the region
  • Negotiating placements and closing deals
  • Working to clear targets with uncapped commission

As you develop, you'll manage your own client base and earn commission on every successful placement.

The harder you work. The more you earn. No ceiling.

Training & Development

No recruitment experience? No problem.

We provide structured, industry-leading training covering:

  • Advanced candidate sourcing strategies
  • Sales psychology & negotiation
  • Client development & account growth
  • Target setting, performance mindset & resilience
  • Personal brand & career progression planning

You'll be coached to become a top biller - not just an average consultant.

What We Offer

  • 28,000- 30,000 competitive base salary
  • Uncapped commission (Year 1 OTE 35k- 42k+)
  • Clear promotion pathway - performance-based, not time-based
  • Regular incentives, socials & rewards
  • Strong team culture of ambitious, like-minded professionals
  • Generous annual leave + wellbeing initiatives

Who We're Looking For

We want strong characters. People who:

  • Have a background in sales, competitive environments, or are ambitious graduates
  • Are resilient and thrive under pressure
  • Are financially motivated and hungry to succeed
  • Are confident communicators with strong interpersonal skills
  • Have a full UK driving licence (or test booked)

You must be prepared to work hard, push yourself, and operate in a performance-driven environment.

Why Bristol?

Bristol is one of the UK's fastest-growing cities, with a thriving education sector and huge opportunity for ambitious recruiters to build a lucrative desk quickly.
