Senior Principal Consultant Education
Milk Education | Liverpool City Centre HQ
Experienced Recruiter and looking for something more?
We're growing our Education Recruitment team in Liverpool and I'm looking to speak with experienced recruiters who are ready for their next challenge.
Ideally, you'll have a background in fast-paced temporary recruitment, where you're used to building relationships, winning business, managing a busy desk, and working in a commercially driven environment.
Education recruitment experience is a huge advantage, but I'm also open to conversations with strong recruiters from other sectors who have the drive, confidence, and commercial hunger to succeed.
At Milk Education, we're more than just a recruitment agency. We're a growing, independent business with a clear purpose, strong values, and a genuine focus on the people, schools, and communities we work with.
We have opportunities across Primary, Secondary, and SEND, with some roles offering the benefit of warm desks, established relationships, and strong foundations to build from.
This means you won't necessarily be starting from scratch. You'll have the opportunity to hit the ground running, develop your market, grow your revenue, and put your own stamp on your desk.
We're looking for someone who is passionate about recruitment and making an impact for schools, but who also brings the drive, fire, and hunger to succeed.
Someone who wants to build great relationships, make things happen, and see just how far they can take their career.
Why Milk Education?
We're a proudly independent education recruitment business doing things differently.
In a short time, we've grown from 4 offices to 9 nationwide, with more than 150 people across the business, and we're still growing.
But growth isn't everything.
We're passionate about creating a business where people feel supported, challenged, and genuinely excited about what they're building.
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.
From our dedicated Learning & Development team and Trainee Academy to our Make Life Kind charity and Unbottled initiative, we're committed to creating a business that has an impact beyond recruitment.
We want our people to have the tools, support, and opportunities to build careers they're proud of.
The Role
As a Senior Principal Consultant, you'll take ownership of your market and play an important role within our growing Liverpool team.
Depending on the opportunity, you'll have the chance to work across Primary, Secondary, or SEND, with some roles offering the benefit of an established, warm desk.
You'll be responsible for:
- Developing and growing strong client relationships.
- Building long-term partnerships with schools and candidates.
- Winning new business and growing your market.
- Sourcing, interviewing, and placing education professionals.

- Growing revenue and maximizing the potential of your desk.

- Continuing to develop your own skills and career.
We're looking for someone with recruitment experience, commercial drive, and ambition.
Someone who isn't afraid to pick up the phone, build relationships, chase opportunities, and make things happen.
Most importantly, we're looking for someone with the fire and hunger to succeed.
