What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for an energetic, caring and positive Attendance Officer who is committed to supporting young people and their families.

You will believe deeply in the power of education and understand how life-changing regular attendance can be — especially for students who may be facing additional challenges or disadvantage.
