About the Opportunity
Horizon Teachers, part of Operam Education Group, is growing rapidly and we’re now looking for ambitious Education Recruitment Consultants to join our team and be part of the next stage of our success story.
Since 2008, Horizon Teachers has grown organically year-on-year, building a reputation for delivering high-quality educators to schools across London and the South East. Now part of Operam Education Group, one of the fastest-growing education recruitment groups in the UK, we have the backing, resources, and ambition to scale even further.
This is a true 360 recruitment role, giving you ownership of your own desk and the opportunity to build a strong network of schools and education professionals. You'll manage the full recruitment lifecycle, placing teachers and support staff into permanent, long-term, short-term, and daily roles, while developing lasting client relationships and growing your desk revenue.
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.
The impact of your work goes beyond billings. Every placement helps ensure classrooms are staffed, schools run smoothly, and pupils receive the consistent education they deserve.
Whether your background is in education or a transferable sector, your recruitment expertise will drive your area and help expand our offering across the region while contributing to the growth of the wider group.

- Driving revenue growth by successfully matching schools with the talent they need
- Taking ownership of your targets and consistently achieving and exceeding KPIs
- Working closely with our Key Accounts and Partnerships team to maximize opportunities across your territory
- Contributing to a driven, ambitious team culture and leading by example
What You’ll Need:
- Proven experience in recruitment, ideally in Education or a similar sector, with a track record of exceeding targets and driving revenue growth
