The posting

Make a Difference Every Day

Are you passionate about improving the lives of young people and helping them achieve their full potential?

We are seeking an enthusiastic, resilient and highly organised Attendance and Welfare Officer to join our dedicated pastoral and safeguarding team. This is an exciting opportunity for an individual who believes that excellent attendance is fundamental to educational success and who wants to make a genuine difference to the lives of children and families.

Working closely with the Attendance Lead, safeguarding team, pastoral staff and external agencies, you will play a key role in improving student attendance, reducing persistent absence and ensuring that vulnerable young people receive the support they need to engage successfully in education. The role combines attendance management, family engagement, safeguarding awareness and early intervention, making it ideal for someone who enjoys building positive relationships while providing both support and challenge to families.

What You'll Be Doing

You will:

  • Monitor attendance and punctuality across the academy.
  • Identify patterns of absence and coordinate interventions to improve attendance.
  • Carry out first-day response procedures, welfare checks and home visits.
  • Work directly with students and families to overcome barriers to attendance.
  • Lead and participate in attendance meetings with parents and carers.
  • Support reintegration plans following absence, suspension or reduced timetables.
  • Work alongside safeguarding, SEND and pastoral teams to identify and support vulnerable students.
  • Contribute to Family Help and multi-agency support plans.
  • Use attendance data and systems such as Bromcom, FFT and DfE attendance tools to monitor impact and drive improvement.
  • Maintain accurate records and provide evidence for statutory attendance and Children Missing Education processes.

What We're Looking For

We would love to hear from candidates who have:

Essential

  • Experience working with children, young people or families.
  • Knowledge of school attendance processes.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
  • The ability to manage a caseload and prioritise effectively.
  • Experience interpreting and using data to support interventions.
  • An understanding of safeguarding and child protection responsibilities.
  • The confidence to support and professionally challenge families where required.
  • Strong ICT, administration and record-keeping skills.
  • A commitment to improving outcomes for children and young people.

Desirable

  • Previous experience in an attendance, welfare or safeguarding role within a school.
  • Training in safeguarding, Family Help, Early Help or attendance management.
  • Knowledge of KCSIE and current DfE attendance guidance.
  • Experience of home visits and multi-agency working.

We offer:

  • Salary commensurate to your experience
  • A strong and ongoing CPD program
  • Opportunities for career development and progression
  • Teachers’ pension scheme
  • Use of the onsite gym
  • A Senior Team that are keen to drive school improvement and are open to innovation and creative thinking
  • A strong commitment to staff wellbeing

The Four Cs MAT is committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

All appointments involve regulated activity and are subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure, Barred Check List and two successful references. Online searches are carried out on all shortlisted candidates.

We reserve the right to close the vacancy early should we receive a high number of applications. If you have previously applied for this role in the past 6 months, please do not reapply.

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.
