Live schools, live vacancies, and an existing candidate pool Extra focus: Managing Master Vendor arrangements and PSL accounts What this job isThis is a trainee consultant role with responsibility from day one. You will learn the full recruitment cycle, while running a warm desk and delivering staffing into schools. You will also work within master vendor and PSL setups, which means you follow agreed processes, protect service levels, and keep things compliant while filling at speed.What "warm desk" means in practice You inherit existing client relationships and active requirements. You work live bookings immediately, rather than building a desk from scratch. Your focus is fill rate, candidate control, and account growth. What "Master Vendor" means in practiceA master vendor model is where one supplier takes primary responsibility for filling temp requirements. If they cannot fill, they release roles to secondary suppliers. As the consultant on this desk, you will be accountable for getting roles filled first and fast, then managing overflow appropriately.What "PSL" means in practiceA PSL is a preferred supplier list. The client has pre-approved agencies and controls how vacancies are briefed, who can supply, and what compliance and reporting standards must be met. You work inside those rules and still win through service.What you will doFill roles quickly and accurately Take job briefs from schools, confirm key details, start date, timetable, behaviour profile, SEN needs, and expectations. Match and book teachers, cover supervisors, teaching assistants, and SEN support staff. Confirm bookings, arrival details, and school requirements, then deal with changes and cancellations at speed.

Screen candidates by phone, confirm suitability, and set expectations on standards in schools. Maintain daily contact with active candidates to protect your fill rate and reduce no-shows. Compliance and safeguarding driven recruitment Education recruitment is safeguarding-led. Your placements rely on strong vetting and clear records. Ensure right to work checks, references, and vetting steps are completed before placement. Track DBS status and documentation so candidates are deployable when schools need them. Keep records audit-ready, because schools and compliance audits do not accept "it's on my desk somewhere." Master vendor management Work priority roles first, respond quickly, and keep communication tight so the client sees value in using the primary supplier. Track roles you cannot fill internally, then release to secondary suppliers in line with the agreed process and timescales. Monitor fulfilment, quality, and feedback across the supply chain, then act when standards drop. PSL account management Follow PSL rules on submission formats, rates, compliance expectations, and response times. Maintain strong relationships with client contacts through consistent service, accurate shortlists, and clear updates. Track performance across the account, fill rates, time to fill, redeployments, and candidate reliability. Business development within existing accounts Grow the desk by expanding into new departments, key stages, and additional schools within the group. Turn urgent cover into long-term bookings and permanent opportunities through service and delivery. What you need Interest in a sales-driven role. Recruitment is a performance job with targets and pace. Strong phone confidence and the ability to manage people, candidates and school leaders. You will juggle live jobs, candidate availability, and compliance tasks. A professional approach to safeguarding and safer recruitment expectations.
