📍 Stoke-on-Trent Office
💼 Full-time | Permanent

Academics are a National Education Agency with 22 offices across the country. Our Stoke office has been open nearly 15 years; working with local Primary, Secondary and SEN Schools.

We're looking for a Trainee Education Recruitment Consultant to join our growing Stoke-on-Trent team.

Are you driven, ambitious, and eager to build a career in recruitment?

This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the start of their career or looking to transition into recruitment. While a background in sales is beneficial, it's your attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn that matter most.

Job role:

  • Supporting schools by sourcing and placing education professionals
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with candidates and schools
  • Writing job adverts, screening CVs, and conducting interviews
  • Learning how to manage the full recruitment cycle from start to finish
  • Working towards targets in a supportive, team-focused environment

What we're looking for:

  • A positive, proactive attitude and strong communication skills
  • A willingness to learn and develop in a fast-paced environment
  • Resilience and motivation to succeed
  • Sales experience is advantageous but not essential

Why Academics?

  • Comprehensive training and ongoing development
  • Clear career progression opportunities
  • A supportive and collaborative team culture
  • Competitive salary with uncapped commission
  • 27 days Holiday + Bank Holidays
  • Hours are 7.30-5pm with reduced hours in the holidays.
  • Free Parking

If you're ready to kickstart your career in recruitment and thrive in a rewarding, people-focused role, we'd love to hear from you.
