Trinity High School is a very special learning community. Our HEART values of Happiness, Excellence, Ambition, Respect and Tolerance underpin our day to day work and visitors are always impressed by the warm, friendly and highly positive relationships that exist between staff and students. We are a friendly and caring community where students are encouraged to aim high, embrace challenge and develop resilience so that they can realise their talents and create their futures.

Our school motto, Excellence for All, encapsulates our vision for all students in our care. Our motto reflects both ambition and inclusivity and allows students to prosper because we have high expectations of their academic progress as well as their personal development. As they move through the school they grow into confident, articulate young adults who contribute selflessly to their families and their local communities. 

We are seeking to appoint a resourceful and highly effective Attendance and Family Support Officer for this key role within our school. The emphasis will be on supporting identified children and families with the aim of improving educational outcomes for students.

Working with students, families and staff to overcome barriers to attendance, you will help to ensure that all students are able to attend school and achieve their full potential. Early support and high quality, positive relationships with students and families is paramount to the success of this objective, and you would play a fundamental role in realising this and helping us achieve our attendance targets.
