What skills and experience we're looking for
We're looking for an energetic individual to provide operational and administrative support for whole-school attendance strategies. This role aims to improve attendance levels and reduce persistent absence in line with academy targets, under the supervision of the Education Welfare Officer. The ideal candidate will be solution focused, have excellent communication skills with the ability to motivate and engage our students and families. Home visits are required for this job role so you will require a current uk driving licence and use of your own vehicle.
We place students at the centre of everything we do, with a focus on creating a culture of success, a positive climate for learning, and increased student attainment, achievement and social and emotional development. You must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and our commitment to putting ‘Students First: Raising Standards and Transforming Lives’.
We believe that all support staff within our Family of Schools are key posts in terms of securing student success and achievement across a broad range of subjects and experiences.
