Education Recruitment Consultant

Requirements

• You don’t have to tick every single box, but we think you’ll thrive here if you’re:
• Naturally enthusiastic and curious (we’ll train you on everything else!)
• Confident picking up the phone, handling objections, and building trust fast
• Someone with a proven track record of hitting sales targets (or smashing similar KPIs)
• A team player who loves being part of a close-knit group
• Passionate about having a positive social impact (bonus points if you care deeply about education)
• Someone with a growth mindset is always looking to learn and improve
• You want a role where your work has a tangible social impact
• You like fast-paced environments where things are always evolving
• You’re excited about the idea of working in a mission‑driven startup that’s scaling rapidly

• Hi, I’m Josie, Head of Account Management for Bristol at Zen Educate, and I’m looking for recruitment consultants who want to tackle a very real, very important problem: helping schools get the teachers they need, when they need them, without wasting millions on old‑school recruitment agencies
• If you’re someone who loves building relationships, solving meaningful problems, and being part of a mission‑driven team… this might be your thing
• This isn’t your standard “manage a few accounts and send a few emails” kind of job. As an Account Manager at Zen, you’ll be:
• Owning relationships with key schools helping them hire smarter and faster
• Leading school leaders through recruitment processes with a consultative approach
• Picking up the phone and building genuine relationships (yes, there’s outbound calling, but it’s about helping, not just selling)
• Collaborating closely with Sales, Ops, and our Tech team to make sure schools get the best possible experience
• Rolling up your sleeves and diving into whatever’s needed, this is a startup, so no two weeks look the same
• Here’s a typical snapshot of what you might do in a week:
• Chat to a Headteacher about how they can save £10k this term by switching to Zen
• Source a teacher who is a perfect match for your school
• Follow up with a school that’s already using Zen and find ways to expand their usage
• Share feedback with our product team about what schools really needs in the platform
• Work with our Ops team to make sure a tricky booking gets sorted
• Jump into a quick brainstorm with the team to improve how we build pipeline
