Veritas Education Leeds Full-Time Education Recruitment
Start Date: ASAP or After Christmas

Veritas Education is a leading education recruitment company based in Leeds, supporting Primary, Secondary, SEN, Early Years, Alternative Provision and Post-16 settings across West Yorkshire.

Due to continued growth, we are looking to appoint an ambitious and driven Recruitment Consultant to join our successful Leeds branch.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced recruiter, sales professional or education specialist to take over a warm, established recruitment desk with an existing client base and strong opportunities for further growth.

About Veritas Education

At Veritas Education, we pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional service to schools, academies and trusts through our core values of:

• Reliability
• Transparency
• Quality
• Professionalism

We have built long-standing partnerships with education settings across the region, providing day-to-day supply, long-term staffing solutions and permanent recruitment support.

The Role

As a Recruitment Consultant, you will be responsible for managing and developing an established education recruitment desk.

You will work closely with schools and education professionals across your designated area, providing reliable and effective staffing solutions.

Unlike a completely new recruitment desk, you will benefit from an existing client base and established relationships, giving you a strong platform from which to increase your billings and develop the area further.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing and developing a warm education recruitment desk
• Building and maintaining relationships with schools, academies and multi-academy trusts
• Developing new business opportunities across your designated area
• Speaking with schools to understand their immediate and future staffing requirements
• Sourcing, interviewing and registering teaching and support staff
• Managing daily supply bookings and long-term placements
• Matching candidates with suitable vacancies based on their experience and career goals
• Conducting client meetings and school visits
• Managing compliance and safeguarding processes
• Working towards achievable sales and performance targets
• Delivering a high-quality, consultative service to schools and candidates

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who is confident, motivated and able to build strong professional relationships.

The successful applicant will ideally have:

• Previous recruitment, sales or business development experience
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A proactive and resilient approach
• The ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, target-driven environment
• Excellent organisation and time-management skills
• Confidence managing multiple priorities and client relationships
• A commercial mindset and motivation to achieve targets
• A full UK driving licence, which is desirable but not essential

Previous education recruitment experience would be advantageous, although it is not essential for the right candidate.

Salary, Commission and Benefits

We offer a competitive package designed to reward performance and support long-term career development, including:

• Competitive basic salary
• Opportunity to double your basic salary through commission
• Market-leading, uncapped commission structure
• One work-from-home day per week
• Warm desk with an established client base
• 28 days' annual leave, plus bank holidays
• An additional three days' leave over the Christmas period
• Reduced working hours during school holiday periods
• Regular individual, team and company-wide incentives
• Salary sacrifice schemes, including gym memberships, retail discounts and vehicle schemes
• Clear career progression into Senior Consultant and Management positions

Why Join Veritas Education?

Veritas Education has an excellent track record of consultant retention and career progression. We invest in our people by providing the tools, support and opportunities required to build a highly successful career in recruitment.

This position offers the additional advantage of an established client base and warm recruitment area. You will have the opportunity to build on existing relationships, win further business and develop a high-performing education recruitment desk.

If you are motivated by building relationships, achieving results and making a genuine difference to schools and education professionals across Yorkshire, we would be pleased to hear from you.
