Looking to build something for your future, not just find another job?

Dovetail and Slate, an award-winning education recruitment company (Best Company to Work For 2024), is expanding—and we’re on the lookout for ambitious people to join our Manchester team as Trainee Recruitment Consultants

This is more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to learn commercial and business skills that many never get the chance to develop. You’ll effectively be running your own desk with the backing of a strong team and experienced mentors who want to see you win.

What we’re looking for:

We don’t need tons of experience—just a driven mindset.

Maybe you’ve sold trainers online, flipped tickets, run a side hustle, or just love a challenge—we want people with a bit of hustle.

We're after someone who:

• Isn’t afraid to get on the phone and start conversations

• Has a resilient, positive approach to work

• Is motivated by goals, progression, and earning potential

• Wants to build a long-term career in a fast-moving, commercially focused environment

• Enjoys being part of a team that’s growing, learning, and celebrating wins together

What we offer:

• Starting salary of £25,500 with uncapped commission

• Structured career development with clear promotion paths

• Full training from day one—plus ongoing learning and mentoring

• A welcoming, supportive team that backs each other

• A central Manchester office close to transport, shops, and cafes

At Dovetail and Slate, recruitment is more than filling jobs—it’s about creating futures, including your own. If you're serious about getting into recruitment and want to be part of a team that’s building something special, let’s have a chat.
