Make a Real Difference Where It Matters Most

Are you passionate about helping young people reach their full potential? Do you thrive on building trust with families and breaking down the barriers that keep children from school?

At Co-op Academy Brierley, we are looking for a proactive, empathetic, and organised Attendance and Family Engagement Officer to join our dedicated Pastoral Team. In this role, you will be the key link between our school, our students, and their homes driving positive engagement, removing barriers to education, and improving attendance across the academy.

Purpose of the Role

Your primary mission is to promote high levels of attendance and engagement across the academy. You will support our Pastoral and Senior Leadership Teams by:

  1. Identifying trends, highlighting attendance concerns early, and proactively working to remove the root causes of absence.
  2. Issuing routine correspondence to parents and carers in line with the academy's attendance strategy.
  3. Implementing target initiatives that help students and their families re-engage with education.

What You Will Be Doing Day-to-Day

As our Attendance Officer, your key responsibilities will include:

  1. Direct Family Engagement: Communicating directly with parents and carers via telephone, in-person meetings, and home visits to encourage attendance and address lateness or persistent absence.
  2. Data Management & Analysis: Inputting precise registration data into school systems (such as Arbor), monitoring attendance trends, and providing data reports to senior leaders.
  3. Intervention & Support: Organising school attendance panels, setting attendance targets, and establishing parenting contracts where required.
  4. Legal & Policy Guidance: Advising parents on statutory legal processes when pupils become persistently absent, adhering to Trust and school policy.
  5. Multi-Agency & Safeguarding Collaboration: Partnering with pastoral colleagues, social services, health professionals, and local authority teams to safeguard students and address wider family needs.

Your Impact at a Glance

As our Attendance Officer, you will:

  1. Build Relationships: Work directly with parents, carers, and students via telephone, in-person meetings, and home visits to encourage consistent attendance.
  2. Analyse & Act: Maintain precise attendance records, spot trends early, and implement targeted support strategies alongside senior leaders.
  3. Problem Solve: Help families identify and remove root barriers to attendance, creating personalised action plans and parenting contracts where needed.
  4. Collaborate: Partner with multi-agency teams, health services, and local authority professionals to safeguard and support our students.

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking a resilient, self-motivated problem-solver who brings:

  1. Qualifications: Educated to NVQ Level 2 (or equivalent experience), including GCSE English and Maths (grades 9–4 / A*–C).
  2. Technical Skills: Experience with administration, record-keeping, Google Docs/Sheets, and attendance databases (working knowledge of Arbor is a bonus!).
  3. Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to connect with diverse families and professionals.
  4. Mobility: A full driving licence and access to your own transport for home visits.
  5. Values: A firm commitment to child safeguarding, equal opportunities, and our Ways of Being Co-op: Do what matters most | Be yourself, always | Show you care | Succeed together.

Why Join Co-op Academy Brierley?

We offer more than just a job; we provide a supportive community and a comprehensive benefits package:

  1. Work-Life Balance: Enjoy school holiday periods off work (Term-time + INSET days).
  2. Financial Wellbeing: Local Government Pension Scheme, competitive pay, travel season ticket and rental deposit loans, and a discount on Co-op branded food (with boosted seasonal discounts).

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
