The Role

The Role As an Attendance Officer, you will assist in providing operational support to improve student attendance and engagement by working collaboratively with staff, students, families and external agencies. You should ideally develop and maintain effective partnerships that support students who are at risk of disengagement from education and provide guidance to staff on effective processes and strategies for managing unexplained and unauthorised absences. The position requires someone who is highly organised and has the ability to prioritise tasks, work under pressure, and always maintain confidentiality. Suitable applicants will assist to collect and analyse attendance data, identify trends and areas of concern, and support the implementation of targeted interventions to improve student attendance and participation. In this role you will also undertake a wide range of administrative and student focused support services within the school. Ideally you will possess strong computer skills using various Microsoft office and Department of Education databases, such as student records and management information systems that relate to attendance, good standing, transfers and personal data. The ability to build positive relationships, communicate effectively, and work collaboratively with a range of stakeholders will be highly regarded.
