About Inspired Recruitment
Inspired Recruitment specialises in permanent education recruitment across Primary and Secondary Education. We connect great schools with great educators — and in a market where talented teachers are in short supply, we don't wait for candidates to come to us. We go and find them.
This is a candidate-short market, which is exactly what makes it exciting. The consultants and leaders who thrive here are the ones who think differently, test new ideas, and build genuine relationships with educators long before a role ever comes up. If you love the challenge of solving a hard sourcing problem, you'll love it here.
The Opportunity
We're looking for an experienced, innovative and creative Recruitment Team Leader to coach and grow a team of 2–3 recruitment consultants. This is a full-time permanent role for someone who wants to lead from the front — billing, mentoring, and constantly finding smarter ways to attract educators into our network.
You'll set the standard, push your team to achieve, and be rewarded generously when they do.
