Do you enjoy working in a busy and dynamic school environment?

Would you like to work directly with students and parents?

Your role:

As an Attendance Administrator, you will play a crucial role in promoting and providing an efficient attendance service. You will record, monitor, and analyse attendance records, support the administration of attendance policies, and work collaboratively to reduce absence and lateness. Your responsibilities include maintaining and updating attendance records, managing safe and well checks, and liaising with internal and external support when safeguarding concerns arise. You will also communicate with parents and carers to facilitate their support for their child's attendance.

To excel in this role, you will need strong communication skills, you will be proactive, and have experience in a fast-paced office environment. You should be able to analyse data, work independently and as part of a team, and manage multiple tasks efficiently. A commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children is essential.

About us:

Our Attendance Team work alongside parents/ legal guardians and professionals to develop the best strategies for each of our students to promote and encourage good school attendance. We are looking for a colleague who shares our vision and determination to help every student achieve their potential.

The Academy’s recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024 noted that “pupils benefit from a welcoming environment where diversity is celebrated. They enjoy celebrating each other’s differences and participating in cultural activities. The school provides an ambitious curriculum that ensures pupils develop a strong foundation of knowledge and skills from Year 3 through to Year 13, preparing them well for their next stage of education or employment. The Ofsted inspection rated all areas, including the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision, as 'Good'”.

At Thomas Deacon Academy, we believe in the power of courtesy, commitment, compassion, courage, curiosity, and confidence. These values are at the heart of everything we do, and we are looking for someone who embodies them in their work.
