About the Role
Our recruitment partner is hiring Student Recruitment Consultants on behalf of a UK-based higher-education admissions provider.
This is a commission-only freelance role suited to individuals who already have access to genuine, motivated prospective students in the UK and can refer them for supported entry into university programmes.
You will introduce suitable applicants to UK higher-education opportunities and work alongside an established admissions team that handles eligibility checks, applications, and enrolment support.
This role is fully remote and flexible. You manage your own time and focus on building quality referrals rather than volume.
Key Responsibilities
- Identify and refer genuine UK-based students interested in progressing into higher education
- Pre-screen students to ensure they are academically motivated and eligible
- Submit referrals through the agreed referral process
- Coordinate with an admissions team for follow-up and enrolment
- Support students in providing documents and attending scheduled calls
Candidate Profile
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Access to a real student network (friends, family, community, professional circles)
- Ethical approach to recruitment; no cold-selling or fabricated referrals
- Ability to work independently and manage referrals responsibly
- Experience in recruitment, education, sales, or community outreach is an advantage
Preferred locations of your network: Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, London (UK-based students only; we do not work with international students)
Commission & Payment Structure
- Commission-only role
- £600 total commission per successful student referral
- Paid in three staged payments of £200, aligned to the student’s continued attendance across the academic year
- Payments are contingent on the student enrolling and remaining in attendance
- No payment is made for withdrawn, non-attending, or non-genuine applicants
This structure ensures long-term quality and rewards consultants who refer committed students, not short-term sign-ups.
Important Notes
- Students must be applying for study with genuine academic intent
- All referrals are quality-checked by the admissions team before acceptance.
Job Types: Freelance, Zero hours contract
Application question(s):
- This is a commission only job. How many people can you refer to study at university?
