Attendance Officer

St Wilfrid's Catholic School is looking to appoint a highly organised attendance officer who displays excellent communication and administration skills. The role of the Attendance Officer will have responsibility for all aspects of attendance including the monitoring, recording and reporting of absence of all students from years 7 to 13. The role requires working at pace and the ability to prioritise and work well under pressure.

Are you proactive and able to work independently as well as part of a team? We are looking for candidates who have excellent interpersonal and communication skills along with strong administration skills as the role consists of a variety of tasks related to the monitoring of attendance and punctuality using our computerised systems. You will need to be confident and effective at analysing data, updating our systems, and collating reports.

This role is part-time, term time only plus INSET days. The 30 hours are to be worked over 5 working days, Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 14:30hrs. These hours could be flexible for the right candidate.

This is a school that wants to be the very best it can be. Do you want to be part of that? You do not need to have worked in a school before but a genuine interest in having an impact on the lives of young people and a willingness to learn is expected.

Our most recent Section 48 Diocesan Report (October 2017) and our Ofsted Report (March 2023) certainly reinforce this aspect of school life.
