Recruitment Consultant (Level 3 Apprenticeship) Education Recruitment
Earn while you learn. Build a career, not just a job.
Principal Education is looking for our next Recruitment Consultant to join our growing team through our Level 3 Recruitment Consultant Apprenticeship .
This isn't your typical apprenticeship. You'll be employed full-time from day one, receive a competitive salary, work alongside experienced consultants and complete a nationally recognised Level 3 qualification whilst learning one of the UK's highest earning professions.
If you're interested, make sure you read all the way to the bottom.
About Principal
Principal Education was founded to bring genuine innovation to the education recruitment sector.
Whilst most recruitment agencies still operate much the same way they have for years, we've invested heavily in technology, structured processes and operational excellence that allow our consultants to perform at a higher level.
Just as Uber connects drivers and passengers through technology, our own platform creates a direct connection between schools and education professionals 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The result is a faster, fairer and more efficient recruitment experience for both our candidates and our schools.
We're now entering our fifth year of trading and have grown into one of the UK's fastest-growing independent education recruitment agencies. We've won national industry awards, hold over 700 five-star reviews , recently achieved APSCo Compliance+ Accreditation with an outstanding 99.38% score , and continue to invest heavily in both our people and our technology.
Technology alone doesn't build great recruitment businesses.
Great people do.
That's where you come in.
The Apprenticeship
This role combines full-time employment with a nationally recognised Level 3 Recruitment Consultant Apprenticeship (equivalent to A Levels).
Over approximately 12-15 months , you'll receive structured training covering:
- Candidate sourcing and interviewing
- Business development
- Client relationship management

- Recruitment legislation and compliance

- Organisation
- Commercial awareness
By the end of the programme you'll be operating as a fully-fledged Recruitment Consultant with a recognised qualification and a clear long-term career pathway.
Applications are welcomed from candidates of all ages.
What You'll Be Doing
From day one you'll work alongside one of our experienced Lead Consultants, learning the role through real experience rather than sitting in a classroom.

Your responsibilities will include:
- Interviewing and registering education professionals
