What skills and experience we're looking for

Good attendance is essential to academic success, learner wellbeing and successful progression to the next steps in education. When attendance is high, we know that our learners have improved life chances and make more progress academically and socially. The Attendance Officer supports a culture of high expectations by addressing poor attendance and ensuring that learners attend academy. The Attendance Officer will work with learners, staff and parents/carers to manage attendance. A key aspect of this role is visiting learners and their parents/carers in their homes; where necessary, this may involve collecting learners and bringing them in to their academy.

The post holder will require a full clean driving license and access to their own vehicle, with business insurance.

The post holder will also work with key staff members to develop appropriate induction and support for learners who are reluctant to attend their academy and/or need support to engage with learning.

Essential criteria:

GCSE English and Maths at Grade C+/4+ or equivalent

Ability to monitor, manage attendance data.

Experience of using Microsoft Office
