Recruitment Consultant - Nursery

We're Nexter, a specialist recruitment agency supporting private day nurseries — in West Yorkshire and now across London. We're a small, focused team with clear structure and real momentum, and we're looking for an organised, people-smart coordinator to run our London desk from our Birstall office.

If you enjoy talking to people all day, keeping lots of plates spinning, and the satisfaction of a desk that runs like clockwork — this is a great opportunity to join a tight team and genuinely make an impact.

The role

You'll be the day-to-day engine of our London desk — and the daily relationship touchpoint for London nurseries. You'll be the voice they know, the person who picks up, and the reason they keep coming back. Our London-based Business Development Manager handles client visits and new business meetings; your job is the desk.

Your day will be a mix of:

Bookings & temp coordination

• Daily ring rounds to temp staff — capturing availability and filling shifts
• Taking and confirming booking requests from nurseries quickly
• Keeping the temp pool healthy so you're never scrambling to fill a shift

Candidate work

• Advertising roles, screening applicants, and conducting registration interviews
• Managing compliance — DBS, right-to-work, references, qualifications
• Building strong relationships with your temp team

Low pressure business development

• Daily outbound calls to nurseries — introducing Nexter and re-engaging quiet accounts
• Identifying opportunities and passing new business leads to the Business Development Manager
• Logging all activity in our CRM (Zoho) so nothing gets lost

You'll be supported by a clear daily structure, a hands-on director, and a Business Development Manager who handles the face-to-face side — your job is the desk.

What we're looking for

You need to be:

• A confident, natural phone communicator
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Reliable and self-motivated — you hold your own routine
• Steady under pressure, positive and resilient
• Someone who enjoys structure and variety in equal measure

It helps if you have:

• Recruitment, resourcing, or call-handling experience
• A background in education, childcare, or care staffing
• Any sales or account management experience
• Familiarity with CRM systems (Zoho or similar)

Early years or nursery sector experience is welcome but not essential — we'll teach you the sector. What we can't teach is reliability and warmth.

What you get

We've put thought into making the office a good place to spend the day — everyone has a sit-stand desk, parking is easy, and we work from home 1-2 days per week.

• £27–30k salary depending on experience
• Desk performance bonus
• 1–2 days working from home per week
• Sit-stand desks throughout
• Easy free parking on site
• Small, supportive team
• London market exposure with no London travel
• Casual dress
• Company pension
