What skills and experience we're looking for

York High School is seeking an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our team as an Attendance Officer. The successful candidate will liaise with students, families and staff to remove any significant barriers to students attending school, and will work with Pastoral and SEN leaders to improve the attendance of identified students.

You will need to be confident and able to communicate effectively with students, parents/carers, staff and external agencies as required. You may be required to travel independently to the homes of pupils and therefore should have your own vehicle and insurance for business use.
