Attendance Officer

Job Overview

Are you passionate about supporting student success and making a real difference in education?

We are seeking a proactive and organised Attendance Officer (term time plus 1 week) to join our dedicated team.

In this vital role, you will monitor and improve student attendance, working closely with students, families, and staff to promote a culture of high expectations and engagement.

You’ll play a key part in identifying attendance issues early, implementing effective interventions, and ensuring compliance with school policies and legal requirements.

Key Roles

• Monitoring daily attendance and following up on absences
• Building positive relationships with students and families to encourage regular attendance

• Strong organisational and IT skills (experience of Arbor is a plus)
• A team player who can also work independently and use their initiative
• Experience in a school or similar setting is helpful, but not essential – training will be provided
  
  

If you’re a strong communicator with a keen eye for detail and a commitment to student welfare, we’d love to hear from you!
