Since the beginning of the pandemic, students have had disrupted school attendance due to lockdowns and partial school closures. As a result, there is an increase of students who are finding it difficult to get back to school every day.

There will be a requirement to liaise with other service providers such as Milton Keynes Council, the Police and Social Services. The successful postholders will spend part of Fridays in the school supporting the Student Services department
