Restoring Hope. Rebuilding Confidence. Pursuing Potential.
Not all attendance roles are the same.
At CEDARS attendance is about far more than registers and procedures, attendance means building relationships, supporting families, safeguarding vulnerable young people and helping pupils reconnect with education. We believe that relationships rooted in kindness and care change lives.
This is a specialist Grade 8 role at the heart of our work to improve attendance, strengthen family engagement and remove barriers to learning.
We are seeking an exceptional Attendance Intervention Manager to join our dedicated team and play a key role in improving attendance, strengthening family engagement and removing barriers to education for some of our most vulnerable young people.
This is not a traditional attendance role. We are looking for someone who can build trusting relationships with pupils and families, undertake home visits, work alongside partner agencies and lead interventions that help young people reconnect with education and achieve success. The successful candidate will work closely with school leaders, safeguarding colleagues and external professionals to improve attendance, promote inclusion and ensure that every pupil is safe, supported and able to thrive.
