Recruitment L&D Coach Milk Education Manchester
Have you built a successful recruitment career and are ready for your next challenge ✅
Maybe you've spent years building desks, developing clients and consistently billing, but the part of recruitment you've always enjoyed most is coaching others, sharing your knowledge and seeing people succeed.
We're looking for an experienced recruiter who understands what it takes to succeed in an agency environment and has a genuine knack for training, coaching and developing people.
If you're ready to step away from running your own desk and into a role where you can share your experience, develop others and make a wider impact across the business, we'd love to hear from you.
About Milk Education
Milk Education specialises in recruiting Teachers, Teaching Assistants and Early Years professionals into schools across the UK.
We're proudly independent, purpose-driven and growing at an exciting pace, with nine offices nationwide and ambitious plans for further expansion.
As we continue to grow, investing in our people has never been more important.
Reporting directly to our Learning & Development Manager, you'll help develop consultants at every stage of their recruitment journey, from brand-new trainees to experienced recruiters looking to take their performance to the next level.
This isn't simply a training role. You'll coach, mentor, challenge and inspire our people to become the best recruiters they can be.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
