Rose Hill Primary School are seeking a thorough and proactive Part-Time Attendance Officer to join our dedicated pastoral and attendance team. You will join a supportive team that includes an established Attendance Officer and Family Support Worker, and is led by an Assistant Headteacher.

• First-Response Communication: Manage first-day absence calls and follow up with parents, ensuring every interaction is recorded accurately in our online tracking system.

• Collaborative Teamwork: Work closely with the Pastoral Team and the Senior Leadership Team. You will provide the "data-driven" insights they need to support pupils with SEND, SEMH, or anxiety.

• Student & Family Engagement: Meet with families to develop attendance action plans and build professional, trust-based relationships with families to reduce barriers to learning.

• Safeguarding: Maintain rigorous, confidential records in line with safeguarding policies.

• Seamless Handovers: Ensure all data, ongoing cases, and parent communications are documented clearly for the wider team to access during your off-hours.

• Communication: You are a clear communicator who thrives in a collaborative environment. You understand that your data informs the work of the whole pastoral team.

• Resilience: The ability to remain calm and professional during challenging or sensitive conversations with parents and carers.

If you think this could be you, we want to hear from applicants with a range of experiences. Preferred experience includes:

• Experience in a school office, administration, or a role requiring high-volume digital record-keeping

• Experience in customer service or social care where "case management" and tracking were used
