ISBA BURSARCAST // The Secret to Stress‑Free School Recruitment: Inside ISBA’s Personnel Services (1st August 2025)

Recruitment in independent schools can be challenging – from finding the right skills to ensuring a perfect fit for your school’s unique culture. In this episode of the ISBA Bursarcast, we speak with Lucy Wyatt from ISBA’s Personnel Services to uncover how their tailored recruitment model helps schools find the right people when they need them.

We explore:

• How ISBA’s recruitment service began and why it’s designed specifically for independent schools.
• The benefits of using ISBA for both permanent and interim placements.
• How the mentoring programme supports newly appointed and experienced bursars.
• Why ISBA’s deep sector knowledge and value‑driven approach makes a difference.

Whether you’re a bursar looking to fill a role, an HR lead planning your next hire, or simply curious about how ISBA can support your operational team, this conversation is packed with practical insight and advice.

Independent schools vary widely in terms of their size, pupil population, location, provision and practice. Documents are offered as guidance only, in order to help schools prepare their own in a way that suits their own circumstances and reflects the needs of their own community, and the ISBA and our partners who have assisted in the production of the documents accept no liability for any claims or losses arising from their use. Before using documents from the ISBA library, and particularly after adapting them, schools should take specific legal advice
