Schools

Schools have become increasingly complex institutions with multiple demands, priorities and opportunities.

Today’s school leaders need a diverse range of skills and experience to navigate this complexity and provide the leadership necessary for their students and staff to thrive.

Odgers Berndtson’s Global Schools Practice has a strong track record of identifying, attracting and recruiting exceptional, diverse and sometimes unexpected candidates to lead independent, international and state-funded schools across the world. Our executive search specialists work at the most senior levels of those institutions, drawing on the reach and resources of our global network to find the best talent available.

Australia

As the independent schools sector in Australia continues to grow, demand is increasing for outstanding leaders who can bring a compelling educational vision and the capacity to be a strong ‘CEO’ of often substantial businesses.

The needs of every school are different and the specialists in our Schools Practice support our clients in all states of Australia and New Zealand in finding the very best Heads, and developing their senior leadership teams.
