• Work collaboratively with pupils, staff, parents/carers, and external agencies to improve attendance and punctuality.
• Act promptly where persistent absence becomes a safeguarding concern.
• Support the smooth running of the school through high-quality administrative work.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has experience working in a busy administrative or education setting.
• Communicates confidently with children, families, and colleagues.
• Can stay calm under pressure and brings warmth, positivity, and resilience to the role.
