Recruitment Consultant - Nurseries

Nexter is a specialist recruitment agency supplying private day nurseries across West Yorkshire and London. While our Yorkshire operation is established and market-leading, our London desk represents our biggest commercial growth opportunity. Supported by our dedicated London Business Development Manager and a high volume of inbound permanent requirements, we need a sharp, proactive Recruitment Consultant to take full ownership of the London desk from our Birstall office.

This role is ideal for a commercially driven recruiter who wants the upside of high-margin permanent fees while actively driving and scaling our temporary supply business across the capital. What You Will Be Doing Temp Desk Fulfilment: Daily morning ring-rounds, managing incoming shift bookings from London nursery managers, and rapidly deploying vetted early years practitioners.

Permanent Placements: Servicing regular inbound permanent vacancies (Room Leaders, Deputy Managers, Early Years Educators) to maximize desk revenue. Candidate Sourcing & Vetting: Proactive talent attraction, interviewing, and running fast-track compliance (enhanced DBS, right to work, references, qualifications) via Zoho.

Client Engagement: Outbound phone calls to nursery clients to secure upcoming shift rosters, follow up on placements, and identify new business opportunities. High Activity & Pace: Managing a busy desk where speed, strong phone rapport, and commercial drive lead directly to commission.

Requirements

1+ years in recruitment (resourcing, delivery, or 360), estate agency, high-volume sales, or fast-paced phone-based account handling. (Education, childcare, or temp staffing experience is a major plus). Strong Phone Presence: Confident, articulate, and energised on the phone—you build trust quickly and pick up the receiver naturally.

Commercially Driven: Motivated by daily shift targets, billing numbers, and maximising your monthly bonus. Organised Under Pressure: Able to prioritise urgent morning temp coverage while methodically advancing permanent candidate pipelines.
