About the Role:
As a member of our new Attendance & Welfare Team, the Home School Link Worker will provide a complementary service to existing teachers and school staff across the trust.

As a Home School Link Worker, you will:
Build strong relationships with children, parents, and schools to promote attendance, engagement, and well-being.
Support families to overcome barriers affecting learning and development.
Collaborate with schools, social services, and other agencies to provide tailored support.
Facilitate workshops, family learning sessions, and community engagement initiatives.
What We’re Looking For:
Experience working with children, families, or in community outreach.
Experience working with children experiencing a range of difficulties.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Ability to work independently and as part of a multi-agency team.
Empathy, resilience, and a commitment to supporting vulnerable families.
Joining the Attendance & Welfare Team offers you the chance to:
Make a direct, tangible impact on children’s education, well-being, and family support.
Work in a dynamic, supportive environment where your ideas and initiative are valued.
Access professional development, training, and career growth opportunities.
Contribute to improving school standards in attendance, achievement, and behaviour across the Southern Hub.
Work with a team committed to innovation, collaboration, and making a difference for families.
