Attendance Officer – Parental Engagement & Transition

The role combines core attendance officer responsibilities with a strategic focus on early intervention, ensuring that barriers to attendance are identified and addressed before patterns of absence become entrenched. The postholder will work across both the primary and secondary phases, supporting learners and families through key stages of transition, whilst maintaining a strong operational presence in the day-to-day running of attendance systems. A key aspect of the role is working directly with families, including undertaking home visits, holding structured conversations, setting clear expectations and agreeing targets to improve attendance.
