Attendance Co-ordinator in Scarborough

Scalby Academy are looking to appoint an Attendance Co-ordinator to join our academy in January 2027 on a permanent full-time basis. Do you want to work for a Trust that is transforming educational outcomes for students in some of the most deprived areas in the North of England? If so, this could be the role for you.

Your new role: As an Attendance Co-ordinator, you will secure the beneficial and regular attendance of all students of the Academy by supporting students and families, liaising and working closely with other agencies. Where necessary, you will carry out the statutory duty of legal action when parents do not deliver their commitments under the academy home school agreement and when all efforts to help improve school attendance have failed to secure the child’s regular attendance. You will provide guidance and support for students at risk of exclusion and monitor progress against targets agreed with the DCSF and Local Authority.

About us: Scalby Academy is a successful and popular 11-16 community school based in the picturesque seaside town of Scarborough on the North Yorkshire Coast. We currently have approximately 1000 students on roll. In recent years we have become the school of choice in our local community. Our P8 score in 2024 placed us in the top 14% of schools nationally again. Our students are diverse, exciting and talented - and the same is true of our staff. We put huge emphasis on professional development, most of it in-house, and are proud of the highly effective teaching, which characterises our school. We are also noted for our ‘can do’ attitude. We are keen, always, to encourage new and/or young staff to make their mark as soon as they are ready. A consistently ‘Good’ school in every area as judged by Ofsted in 2012, 2019 and most recently in 2024. We are constantly looking at ways to improve our learning offer and are very ambitious about improving the school further. Our aim is to provide a ‘Great’ education for the young people of our beautiful coastal community.

Why join us? Staff across the trust are talented and enthusiastic, and all contribute to the trust’s success story. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an outstanding team within a high-performing multi-academy trust with exciting career prospects for successful applicants.

In accordance with DfE Keeping Children Safe in Education, an online search will be completed on all shortlisted applicants prior to interview. Any relevant information will be discussed further with the applicant during the recruitment process. The Trust is committed to safeguarding the welfare of its students and the successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service certificate and checks of the relevant barred list/prohibition lists.

Delta Academies Trust undertake to treat all applicants for posts fairly and not to discriminate unfairly against volunteers or paid staff who voluntarily reveal that they have a criminal conviction. Equally, we will not discriminate unfairly against volunteers or paid staff where a Disclosure and Barring Service check reveals a criminal conviction or other information about offences. Therefore, we will consider job applicants who have a criminal record based on their skills, abilities, experience, knowledge and, where needed, qualifications and training. However, our approach depends on the job, and whether it is covered by, or exempt from, the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.

We are proud to be a Disability Confident employer and guarantee an interview to anyone disclosing a disability whose application meets the minimum criteria for the post. However, it is important to note that if we receive a high volume of applications, we may limit the numbers of interviews offered to people with and without a disability.
