• Facilitate workshops, family learning sessions, and community engagement initiatives.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience working with children, families, or in community outreach.

• Experience working with children experiencing a range of difficulties.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a multi-agency team.

• Empathy, resilience, and a commitment to supporting vulnerable families.

Why Join Us

Joining the Attendance & Welfare Team offers you the chance to:

• Make a direct, tangible impact on children’s education, well-being, and family support.

• Work in a dynamic, supportive environment where your ideas and initiative are valued.
