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.

These include the Investors in People Gold Award, The Quality In Careers Standard Gold Award, The Basic Skills Quality Mark, and the Artsmark Gold Award. This is a fantastic time to join the vibrant and caring learning community at OSCA. Its strong code of values guides its work and creates a secure and safe environment where all students can thrive and succeed. Staff are committed to ensuring every student reaches their full potential by having the highest aspirations and a commitment to both academic and personal excellence. Students speak positively about the “strong sense of community” at the academy and “the support they receive from the teachers”, with a Year 8 student describing life at OSCA as being part of “one big family.”
