Attendance Officer - Co-op Academy Stoke in Stoke-on-Trent

We are looking to appoint an Attendance Officer who will monitor and improve student attendance. Your organised and methodical approach will enable you to track attendance and punctuality, highlighting areas of concern and acting upon this.

The successful candidate will ideally have experience in a similar role, with an understanding of the legislation and statutory framework around school attendance. You will work well within a team as well as using your own initiative to prioritise your workload in a fast paced environment to ensure deadlines are met. Your strengths will include building good relationships with children and adults, coupled with patience and a sense of humour and a willingness to be fully involved in school life.

Our Values

• Self‑help: We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.
• Self‑responsibility: Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners.
• Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed.
• Equity: We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement.
• Democracy: We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.
• Solidarity: We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.
