The Position

Uxbridge High School is seeking a committed and compassionate School Attendance Support to help improve student attendance and ensure that every young person can thrive through full-time education.

In this key role, you’ll work closely with students who are struggling to attend regularly, building positive relationships to help them overcome barriers and re-engage with school life. You’ll also work alongside families to offer support and advice, carrying out home visits when needed and ensuring effective communication that encourages parental involvement.

Collaboration with teaching staff, heads of learning and guidance leaders will be central to your work. You’ll track attendance data, identify concerning trends, and take appropriate steps, including legal processes where necessary, to reduce persistent absenteeism. Your input will directly influence the school’s ongoing strategy to improve outcomes for all learners.

We are looking for someone who understands the importance of attendance in achieving academic success. You should have experience working in an educational setting, excellent communication skills, and the ability to handle sensitive situations with care and professionalism. Experience with school systems such as Arbor is desirable but not essential. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in students’ lives, working as part of a supportive and dedicated team.
