Attendance Administrator at Kingsway Park High School

About the role

You will:

• Be part of the daily drive to improve attendance and punctuality across the school
• Contact parents and carers to follow up absences and help resolve attendance concerns
• Build positive relationships with students and families, encouraging engagement with school
• Keep a close eye on attendance information, spotting gaps and making sure concerns are followed up
• Help ensure we know where our students are throughout the school day
• Work alongside our attendance and pastoral teams to support students whose attendance is becoming a concern
• Undertake home visits where needed to engage with families and offer support
• Keep accurate records and make sure important information reaches the right people
• Produce letters, reports and attendance information to support interventions and decision-making
• Work with colleagues and external agencies to help students overcome barriers to attending school. 

What We Are Looking For

You don’t need to be an attendance expert on day one. We’re looking for someone with the right combination of organisation, confidence and people skills.

You will:

• Be highly organised and able to keep on top of a busy and changing workload
• Be confident communicating with students, parents, carers and colleagues
• Be comfortable having conversations that can sometimes be challenging
• Have excellent attention to detail and understand why accurate information matters
• Be able to stay calm, professional and solution-focused when things don’t go to plan
• Be confident using IT systems and working with records and data
• Understand the importance of confidentiality and safeguarding
• Be positive, resilient and willing to get stuck in as part of a busy team
• Have GCSE English and Maths at Grade C/4 or above

Experience in administration, customer service, education, attendance or pastoral support would be useful, but just as important is your ability to connect with people, stay organised and approach challenges with persistence and professionalism.

What We Offer

At Kingsway Park High School and Altus Education Partnership, we are deeply committed to developing our staff and supporting long-term careers.

We offer:

• A welcoming and supportive team where your role genuinely makes a difference
• A varied working day — this is definitely not a desk-only admin role
• High-quality induction and ongoing professional development
• Opportunities for career development across the school and wider Trust
• Access to nationally recognised professional qualifications
• Modern facilities and a well-resourced working environment
• Local Government Pension Scheme
• Employee Benefits Programme, including Cycle to Work scheme and free Employee Assistance Programme with counselling and wellbeing support
