parents to improve attendance, while also leading on strategic initiatives and

engaging in high-level discussions and coordinated actions with external

agencies.

Your application will need to demonstrate that you:

Have experience working in attendance and

educational welfare.

Have substantial and successful

experience leading attendance improvement strategies.

Possess strong knowledge of

attendance-related legislation and pupil welfare frameworks.
