Work where it matters most, achieve what matters more
Be part of a team where passion meets purpose, as we work together where the challenge is greatest to change the lives and build the futures of children and young people.
We are seeking a highly organised, proactive and resilient Attendance Officer to join our busy attendance team. This is a key role within the school, focused on improving student attendance and making a real difference to outcomes for our young people.
The Attendance Officer will play a vital part in strengthening our systems, supporting families, and driving sustained improvement across the school. In this role, you will be responsible for monitoring daily attendance, carrying out first day calling, completing home visits, and working closely with students, families and colleagues to remove barriers to education.
This is a fast paced, high-volume role that requires excellent communication skills, attention to detail and the ability to stay calm and professional under pressure. If you are motivated by improving life chances and enjoy working in a role where every day is different, we would love to hear from you.
