We wish to appoint an Attendance Officer in our school to oversee attendance and to maintain our attendance systems. Ideally, the standout candidate will have previous experience and knowledge of interrogating a database or schools’ information management system. You will possess excellent keyboard and organisational skills; ideally with experience of using Word, Excel and Outlook. Previous experience of working within a school environment and a knowledge of data entry would be an advantage. This post will also involve working with pupils and their families, to support good attendance and therefore, excellent communication skills are essential.

We wish to recruit a candidate who has experience of working as part of a team but also someone who is able to take the initiative and be able to work independently at times. The role includes a daily responsibility for monitoring pupil attendance and includes investigating pupil absence in a timely manner. In supporting the school’s leadership team, you will work in partnership with class teachers as well as outside agencies to help achieve expected attendance targets.
