You will work closely with school leaders and other staff to support children and their families to improve children's regular attendance at school.
Working alongside the Deputy Headteacher, you will identify and support those children who become 'persistent absentees' and work to improve their attendance through regular communication and intervention.
This role is based in the school's admin office and includes typical reception duties, including welcoming visitors, managing enquiries, receiving telephone phone calls and other administrative duties.
