We’re currently working with an Outstanding secondary school in Enfield that is looking to appoint an experienced Attendance Officer to join its pastoral and administration team from October 2026.
This is an important role within the school, working closely with students, parents, pastoral staff and senior leaders to monitor attendance and identify where additional support may be needed.
If you’re organised, confident speaking with families and comfortable working with attendance data, this could be a great opportunity to consider.

Who We’re Looking For
The school would ideally like to hear from someone with previous experience as an Attendance Officer within a school setting.
Relevant experience in school administration, pastoral support, family liaison or education may also be considered.
