Recruitment Performance Coach
Milk Education
Liverpool Head Office 📍
Have you built a successful recruitment career and are ready for your next challenge?
Perhaps you've spent years building desks, developing clients and consistently billing, but the part of the job you've always enjoyed most is coaching others, sharing your knowledge and seeing people succeed.
At Milk Education, we're looking for someone who's walked the walk in an agency. Someone who understands what it takes to become a successful recruiter and is passionate about developing the next generation of consultants.
If you're ready to step away from running a desk and into a role where your success is measured by the success of others, we'd love to hear from you.
About Milk Education
At Milk Education, we specialise 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.
That's where you come in.
Reporting directly to our Learning & Development Manager, you'll become an integral part of our Learning & Development team, helping to develop consultants at every stage of their journey—from brand-new trainees taking their first steps in recruitment to experienced consultants looking to elevate their performance.
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.
