Attendance Mentor

Looking for a new opportunity to make a positive impact on young people's lives? Want to work for an academy that has a supportive, fun and friendly culture?

At Co-op Academy Leeds, we strive to create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to flourish, both academically and socially. We encourage our students and staff to aim high, demonstrate perseverance, and adopt a growth mindset, even when challenges arise.

Teaching and learning are at the core of everything we do; we believe that without a strong learning culture, nothing else matters. Our focus is on providing regular, relevant, and valuable professional development for our staff, much of which is crafted and delivered by our dedicated in-house Teaching & Learning Team. We expect everyone who joins our community to actively participate in this culture of sharing and continuous improvement.

We are looking to appoint an Attendance Mentor to work alongside our Attendance Team to promote excellent levels of attendance across the Academy by making home visits daily, assisting students to attend school on time and assisting in developing and maintaining effective monitoring systems to identify trends and highlight concerns. 

You will also support our Attendance Improvement Officers with the implementation of initiatives to improve attendance and engage with students and their families. This will include mentoring and carrying out interventions to break down barriers and the route cause of non-attendance.

In addition, you will be a strong communicator and able to build effective working relationships with colleagues across the Academy. You will also be flexible, self-motivated & resilient.

The successful candidate will ideally have experience in record keeping with information management systems and experience of working in a fast-paced professional environment.
