seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Student and Family
Engagement Officer to join our Attendance and Pastoral team.
This is a key role supporting
students and their families to improve attendance, punctuality and engagement
with school. Working closely with the Pastoral

identify barriers to attendance and provide practical, timely support to help
students attend regularly and succeed at school.
Key duties will include:
- Monitoring attendance and identifying patterns of absence and
lateness.
- Making early contact with students and families where attendance is
a concern.
- Undertaking home visits and meeting with parents/carers to provide
practical support.
- Developing strategies and action plans to improve attendance.
- Supporting students returning to school following periods of
absence.
- Working collaboratively with pastoral, safeguarding and external
agencies to support vulnerable students and their families.
- Supporting punctuality and, where necessary, collecting students to
enable them to attend school.
We are looking for someone with
excellent communication and interpersonal skills, strong organisation and ICT
skills, and the ability to build positive and professional relationships with
young people, families and other professionals. Experience of working with children, young
people, families and external services, together with an understanding of
school attendance, would be particularly valuable. A UK driving licence is
desirable.
Above all, you will be
approachable, resilient and solution-focused, with a genuine commitment to
removing barriers and helping our students thrive.
