Student Recruitment Consultant

Job Type: Freelance, fully remote, commission-only We are hiring freelance Student Recruitment Consultants on behalf of a UK student recruitment consultancy that helps adults enter university through supported entry routes. If you know UK-based adults who genuinely want to get into university: friends, family, community, colleagues, you can earn commission for every one who enrols and attends. How the pay works This is a commission-only role, where you are paid for each student you refer who genuinely enrols at university and continues attending. There is no salary / no hourly rate. Commission per enrolled student (per intake): 1-9 enrolled students → £600 per enrolled student 10-19 enrolled students → £750 per enrolled student 20+ enrolled students → £1,000 per enrolled student, plus eligibility for a £5,000 advance Reach a higher tier and the higher rate applies to every confirmed student in that intake. Example: 12 students who enrol and attend = £750 each = £9,000 for that intake. How the three payments work Your commission for each student is paid in three equal instalments across the academic year, as your student progresses: Payment 1, end of Term 1: your student is attending classes and has submitted their first assignments Payment 2, end of Term 2: continued attendance and coursework, with no funding or compliance issues Payment 3, progression: the university confirms your student has re-enrolled or progressed to the next stage Each payment is one-third of your per-student rate, so at the £750 tier, that's three payments of £250 per student. No payment is made for withdrawn, non-attending, or non-genuine applicants. About the Role 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) Important Notes Students must be applying for study with genuine academic intent All referrals are quality-checked by the admissions team before acceptance.
