We are seeking a proactive and compassionate Attendance and Welfare Officer who will champion children and their families, providing high‑quality support and building strong relationships to ensure excellent school attendance. Could this be the role for you? Driven by a strong sense of moral purpose, you recognise the vital role that consistent, positive school attendance plays in shaping a child’s future.

Whether your background is already in attendance, in early help, family support, youth work, local authority services, or a similar field, this role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference by improving attendance, supporting wellbeing, and ensuring that all children feel safe, included and ready to learn.
