What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you passionate about making a tangible difference in the lives of children, young people, and their families? Do you thrive in a collaborative environment and have a strong commitment to supporting those from disadvantaged backgrounds? We have an exciting opportunity at Brompton Academy for a dedicated individual to join us as a Family Liaison Officer.

In this role, you will work closely under the guidance of the Vice Principal for Behaviour and Attitudes, alongside the AHT Pastoral, DDSL, Attendance Manager, and SENCO.

You will play a key role in fostering positive engagement with family members, planning and implementing strategies that improve student engagement, attendance, and academic success.
Your responsibilities will include organising and signposting pupils to appropriate support services, conducting early help assessments, and developing action plans that drive positive outcomes. You will collaborate with key partner agencies and work closely with the safeguarding team to address attendance concerns and implement tailored interventions.
We are looking for someone proactive, able to make informed decisions, and committed to maintaining high standards of practice. You will need to respect confidentiality, maintain accurate records, and seek guidance when necessary to enhance your interventions. Your role will also involve supporting young carers and ensuring that our services are responsive and effective.
