Managing Recruitment Consultant – SEND
Milk Education | Leeds
WARM DESK | EXISTING REVENUE | HUGE GROWTH POTENTIAL
Are you an experienced recruiter ready to take the next step in your career?
Ideally, you'll come from education recruitment, but if you've built a successful desk within a fast-paced temporary recruitment environment such as Healthcare or similar, we'd love to hear from you too.
An exciting opportunity has opened up to take ownership of a warm SEND desk with existing revenue, established client relationships and huge potential for growth.
This isn't about starting from scratch. You'll have great foundations to build from, with the opportunity to put your own stamp on the desk, grow revenue and make a real impact within our Leeds branch.
Why Milk Education?
We're a proudly independent education recruitment business that's grown from 4 offices to 9 nationwide in just a few years — and we're nowhere near finished.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
