Milk Education
Recruitment consultant
Posted: 19h ago
Offer description

Looking for a role where leadership isn’t a distant promise, but your next natural step?
Welcome to Milk Education. We do things differently... creative, people first, high energy, and scaling fast.
Our Sheffield branch has undergone a huge transformation over the past 6 months. Once the compliance and onboarding hub of the business, it’s now a focused, high-performing sales team delivering exceptional results. Now we’re entering the next phase of growth and we’re looking for someone ready to take a leading role in that journey.
As a Principal Recruitment Consultant, you’ll be a key driver of performance...... this is more than just running a desk. It’s about shaping the future of the branch and stepping into leadership as the office continues to scale.
We’re looking for a proven recruiter with a strong track record in Education recruitment.
This is your opportunity to take ownership in a high-potential branch and accelerate into management with real influence.
Why This Role Stands Out

A genuine pathway into leadership where you can play a pivotal role in scaling the Sheffield branch
Join a revitalised, high-performing office with strong momentum and ambitious growth plans
Take ownership of your desk while contributing to wider team strategy and success
Opportunity to mentor and support junior consultants as the team expands
Creative marketing and brand support to elevate your market presence
Uncapped commission and enhanced bonuses reflecting your impact
A collaborative, driven culture focused on performance and progression

What You’ll Be Doing
Leading from the front, you’ll take ownership of a 360 temp desk while also contributing to the wider success of the team.
Your responsibilities will include:

Building and developing strong client relationships across schools and education settings
Driving new business and expanding key accounts through strategic engagement
Using innovative marketing tools to grow your desk and candidate network
Supporting, mentoring, and influencing less experienced consultants
Leading by example in candidate attraction, retention, and service delivery
Ensuring high standards of compliance and safeguarding
Contributing to team performance, culture, and ongoing growth strategy
Thriving in a fast-paced, high-performance environment with clear progression

What’s In It for You

Uncapped commission and enhanced principal-level bonus structure
Clear and achievable progression into leadership and management
Work from home flexibility and reduced hours during school holidays
23 days holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off
Early finish Fridays, Friday drinks, and an in-house bar
Ongoing training, coaching, and leadership development

Let’s Chat
If you’re an experienced recruiter ready to step into a more strategic, leadership-focused role and want to help shape the future of a growing Sheffield office, we’d love to speak with you.
Let’s build something exceptional together.
