Role at a Glance
Job Title: Billing Team Leader

Salary: Competitive basic — circa £40,000
OTE: £100,000+ realistic and uncapped
Working Pattern: Hybrid — home and office working

The Opportunity
This is not a standard team leader role. It is a genuine opportunity to take ownership of an entire region — to build it from a strong existing base, grow a team around you and become the driving force behind Balfor's South West expansion.
Balfor Recruitment is an award-winning education staffing agency with 29 years of proven success. As an approved GCA Framework supplier we give our consultants access to a quality pipeline of school and education clients that many agencies simply cannot offer.
You will come in billing. You will leave leading. This role is designed for someone with the ambition to do both at the same time.
About Balfor Recruitment
Founded in 1996, Balfor Recruitment has built a reputation for quality, consistency and genuine partnership with schools and education providers across England. We are not a volume agency — we are a specialist business that values relationships, standards and results.
As a GCA Framework supplier we provide schools with access to vetted, high-quality education professionals. Our consultants benefit from established relationships, repeat business and a trusted brand that opens doors.
What You Will Do
From day one you will be given a real desk with real opportunity. As the South West region grows your role will evolve:
- Build your desk — develop and expand a profitable education recruitment desk across the South West
- Drive revenue — deliver consistent gross margin performance in line with Balfor's expectations
- Develop client relationships — build strong lasting partnerships with schools, academies and education providers
- Lead a growing team — recruit, mentor and develop consultants as the region scales
- Shape the division — have genuine input into how the South West operation grows and operates
- Work flexibly — benefit from hybrid working with real autonomy over how you structure your week
What We Are Looking For
Essential:
- Proven billing track record — minimum £150,000 gross margin per year in education recruitment
- Education sector experience — supply teaching, education support or SEND staffing
- Business development skills — a history of winning and retaining clients
- Leadership ambition — the drive to build and manage a high-performing team
- Professionalism and integrity — you will represent Balfor's brand with every interaction
Advantageous:
- Existing South West network of schools or education clients in the region
- Mentoring experience — experience developing junior consultants or managing a small team
- Framework knowledge — familiarity with the GCA Framework or similar public sector agreements
What We Offer

- Hybrid working — flexible home and office working with autonomy over your schedule
- Real career progression — a structured pathway to building and leading your own regional team
