Vision for Education is part of The Edwin Group. Culturally, The Edwin Group is a people-driven organisation – leaders work with their teams in a supportive, inclusive and nurturing environment. We are proud to be awarded Sunday Times Best Place to Work for big companies in both 2024 and 2023 (and hoping to make it a hat trick this year!)
We are looking to appoint a Senior Recruitment Consultant to join our brilliant team in Preston, where you will be working with Primary schools across the Lancashire area. This is a fantastic opportunity to join the market leaders in education recruitment, recruiting high-quality teaching and support staff for short, long-term placements and permanent roles.
We have a growing team and with clear progression up to Branch Manager, the chance to earn an uncapped amount of commission, and a team orientated and fun office, there has never been a better time to join Vision for Education.
We are proud to be different and there is no one ‘Vision for Education’ consultant we are all different, but all united by our drive to be the best, and our strong work and team culture.

Vision for Education can offer an unrivalled service to both schools and teachers.

You will provide a vital link between clients and candidates. The role is demanding and diverse and involves:

• Supporting the Branch Manager with branch growth.
• Supporting Trainee Recruitment Consultants in their own development.
• Using sales, business development and marketing techniques and networking opportunities to attract business from client schools.
• Visiting clients to build and develop close working relationships.
• Developing a good understanding of client schools; what they do and their culture and environment.
• Using social media to advertise positions, attract candidates and build relationships with candidates, employers, and the teaching community.
• Headhunting - identifying and approaching suitable candidates who may already be in work.
• Using candidate databases to match the right person to the client’s vacancy.
• Receiving and reviewing applications, managing interviews, and creating a shortlist of candidates for the client.
• Requesting references and checking the suitability of applicants before submitting their details to the client.
• Briefing the candidate about the responsibilities, salary, and benefits of the job.
• Preparing CVs and correspondence to forward to clients in respect of suitable applicants.
• Organising interviews for candidates as requested by the client.
• Informing candidates about the results of their interviews.
• Using our Salesforce system to manage bookings.
• Coordinating sponsorship activities for client schools.
• Act as an ambassador for the Group’s ESG Strategy ensuring employees of Edwin People positively adopt, promote and comply with key policies developments, initiatives and share the same commitment.
