Attendance and Pastoral Officer
Temporary
Location: Yorkshire and the Humber
Start date: August 2026
About the Role
You’ll join an education provider as an Attendance and Pastoral Officer, working with learners to improve attendance, engagement and wellbeing. You’ll be a visible, approachable point of contact for young people who need support to stay on track with their studies.
You’ll monitor attendance patterns, follow up on absence and put practical support in place where learners are at risk of disengaging, working alongside teaching staff, families and external services.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Monitoring learner attendance and punctuality, and following up on absence promptly.
- Identifying learners at risk of disengaging and putting support plans in place.
- Providing pastoral support to learners facing personal or welfare difficulties.
- Working with parents, carers and external agencies to address barriers to attendance.
- Maintaining accurate records of attendance, interventions and outcomes.
- Working with teaching and support staff to make sure learners get consistent support.
What We’re Looking For
Essential:
- Experience of supporting young people in an education or similar setting
- A calm, approachable manner and the ability to build trust with learners
- Strong organisational skills and accurate record keeping
- Good communication skills when working with learners, families and colleagues
Desirable (but not essential):
- Experience of attendance monitoring or pastoral casework
- Experience of liaising with external agencies and support services
If you’re ready to help learners stay engaged and get the most from their studies, we'd love to hear from you.
