What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you skilled in both driving attendance improvement and managing complex child protection issues? Join us as a Safeguarding & Attendance Officer, where you will provide crucial support to the Senior Leadership Team by ensuring both statutory safeguarding compliance and strategic attendance improvement are achieved. This role is vital, requiring a high degree of specialist knowledge and the ability to liaise professionally and effectively across all external agencies.

You will provide integrated support for attendance and safeguarding, driving attendance strategies through communication with parents, preparing detailed attendance data reports, and processing formal measures like referrals for Fixed Penalty Notices. Crucially, you will manage the academy's safeguarding overview: responding appropriately to child protection issues, meticulously recording safeguarding incidents and causes for concern.

The role requires attending and providing reports following multi-agency meetings, including Child Protection and MARAC, and initiating referrals to external services like Social Care Direct.
