Recruitment Manager (Education Sector) – Hull | Up to £58,000

Education Recruitment Manager | Confidential Agency (Hull)

The Opportunity

Step into a high-impact leadership role with a financially secure, independent teacher recruitment agency that has been trading successfully for over 15 years. This position offers a rare “best of both worlds” scenario: the stability of an established firm combined with a relaxed, non-corporate culture that rejects micromanagement and unrealistic cold-calling targets. Whether you are an experienced manager seeking full autonomy or a Senior Recruiter ready for a tailored leadership development programme, you will have the budget and creative freedom to grow a collaborative team from 3 to 10 consultants. With shorter working hours during school holidays and a highly competitive £58k base, this is the premier choice for recruiters in Hull looking for a balanced yet lucrative career move.

Requirements and Key Responsibilities

• Previous recruitment background (education sector experience not essential).

• Strong relationship-building and customer care skills.

• Ambition to lead, manage, and grow a branch with autonomy.

• Lead and grow the Hull branch, with the freedom to shape its direction and build your team.

• Oversee training, development, 1:1s, and soft KPI setting as the team expands.

• Manage budget forecasting and branch performance.

• Use strong marketing support—including a healthy budget and social media subscriptions—to manage a pipeline of teachers and support staff.

The Role

As the Education Recruitment Manager, you will be the driving force behind the agency’s expansion in the Humber region. You will oversee a desk specializing in Primary, Secondary, and SEND/PRU placements, ensuring high-quality vetting and long-term relationships with local schools. This role prioritizes organic growth and quality service over aggressive sales; you will have the freedom to build your team “your way” while benefiting from the hands-on mentoring of a supportive Regional Manager. Your financial reward is equally significant, featuring milestone-triggered salary increases, personal commission up to 25%, and additional bonuses based on the overall performance of the branch.

Market Intelligence: Education Recruitment (Hull 2026)

As you cluster this sixteenth role, consider these current market factors affecting the Education sector in East Yorkshire:

• The “Step-Up” Premium: The £58,000 base salary offered here is significantly higher than the Hull average for Recruitment Managers (typically £30k–£40k), reflecting the high demand for leadership in the education sector to combat ongoing teacher shortages.

• Holiday Advantage: Unlike the Retail or Transport roles you’ve collected, the Education Recruitment sector uniquely offers shorter working hours during school holidays, a key differentiator for work-life balance clustering.

• Vetting & Compliance: Similar to your HCA and Therapy Assistant roles, this position involves heavy regulatory compliance (safeguarding and DBS vetting), creating a semantic link between Recruitment and Healthcare operations.
