RM Education

Could you be a future CEO of RM….? 

Lots of companies talk about graduate development but how many can actually say that a former CEO initially joined their graduate scheme and progressed all the way to the top?*

If you’re not already familiar with RM Education, take a closer look and you’ll be impressed with the calibre of our employees, the company values that we live and breathe and the passion we share for improving the teaching & learning of young people around the world.

Established in 1973, we’re the leading provider of IT solutions to the education sector and recipient of the ‘UK’s Top IT Employer’ award in 2009 & 2010. We now have over 2500 staff globally and whilst we’re certainly large enough to offer stimulating challenges and a progressive career, we still retain a very open, close-knit environment and ensure that our annual intake of just 20-30 graduates at our Oxfordshire HQ are given significant individual focus and real responsibility from day one. (You could even become a millionaire under our ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ competition!).

We’re proud that we’ve done some really cool things over the years, including creating the world’s first PC solely for schools, providing innovative cloud-based curriculum software and delivering regional & national IT managed services, where success is measured by improving educational outcomes. But we don’t rest on our laurels. We’re particularly excited by the continual challenge to inspire a rising population of discerning, tech-savvy learners who are growing up on a diet of iPads, Xbox 360s, smartphones, 3D TV and ultra-fast broadband.

Staff also relish the unique company culture, which combines the intellectual and commercial problem solving you’d expect in a dynamic, results-focused business, with the sense of ‘making a difference’ that’s very much in our DNA. It’s true that the majority of ‘RM’ers’ join us having never worked in education before, but whether you’re in sales, marketing, IT, operations, project management or any other area, the sense of doing something that really matters is definitely tangible and maybe even contagious.

In addition to achieving, or being on track to achieve a 2:1 or first class degree in any discipline and at least 260 UCAS tariff points or equivalent, we’re looking for individuals who are self-motivated and have a positive, proactive and team-centric approach. In return we offer a competitive starting salary (reviewed twice in your 1st year), a broad range of benefits (including relocation assistance, a bonus and a laptop / iPad), training & industry-recognised qualifications, structured career and personal development, a lively sports & social scene and just as importantly, a really great place to spend your working week.
