About This Role
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.
At Ormiston Sandwell Community Academy we are seeking an additional highly motivated, passionate and supportive Attendance Officer to join our busy pastoral team. We are increasing our team by a further Attendance Officer, to meet the needs of our students and community and being proactive with our mantra of 'Attend to Achieve'.
To be successful in the role, you will be a reliable and hard-working team player. You will have strong keyboard skills, written and verbal communication skills and a 'can do' attitude.
Experience working within a school environment and using Arbor are desirable but not essential as full training will be provided.
There is also the potential of an honorarium for an experienced School Attendance Officer who has at least 3 years' service in a similar role. For the right candidate this would result in line managing one Attendance Officer and taking overall responsibility for the department.
About The Academy
Ormiston Sandwell Community Academy is located in the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell, and in very close proximity to the centre of Birmingham. It is a slightly larger than average, 11–16 co-educational academy with approximately 1,200 students. It has grown over the last few years and is now full and oversubscribed in every year group. The academy’s reputation locally is excellent. OSCA was graded as a good academy, for the third time in 2023.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Its strong code of values guides its work and creates a secure and safe environment where all students can thrive and succeed.
