This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced, hardworking and enthusiastic Attendance Officer who will be responsible for engaging students and effecting change to support their future opportunities.

We are looking for an energetic, self motivated and positive Attendance Officer to work closely with students and their families to drive improvements in school attendance and punctuality.
