Egerton High School is seeking a compassionate, organised and proactive Attendance Officer to join our small specialist high school supporting pupils with special educational needs. This is an exciting opportunity to play a vital role in improving attendance, supporting families and helping our young people thrive both academically and emotionally.

The successful candidate will work closely with the Senior Leadership Team, pastoral staff, families and external agencies to promote excellent attendance and punctuality across the school. The role will involve monitoring and maintaining accurate attendance records, following up daily absences, identifying attendance concerns early and supporting intervention strategies to improve engagement. You will communicate regularly with parents and carers, build positive relationships with families and support pupils who may experience barriers to attendance linked to SEND, anxiety or additional needs.

We are looking for someone with excellent organisational and administrative skills who is confident communicating with parents, carers and professionals. Experience of working within a school or educational setting is desirable, along with a calm, empathetic and solution-focused approach. The ideal candidate will understand the challenges some pupils with SEND may face around school attendance and engagement, maintain confidentiality and professional boundaries at all times and be committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

This is a rewarding opportunity to become part of a welcoming and supportive team within a small school community where every pupil is known and valued. We offer opportunities for professional development, a strong focus on staff wellbeing and the chance to make a genuine difference to the lives of young people.

Egerton High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All appointments are subject to satisfactory references, enhanced DBS clearance and safer recruitment checks.
